<VV> No 4 Main bearing

[BobHelt at aol.com]

Ned,
13 ft-lbs is good in my opinion. But I am really surprised that your set of 
 mains didn't contain a special #4. Every set I have ever seen had one. But 
that  is just a technicality since you don't really need that in my 
opinion. In fact  if you will research the use of the special #4 you will see a 
decided tolerance  conflict by forcing the crank centerline DOWN by 1.5 thou 
there.
Regards,
Bob Helt

I'm in  the process of building a LM 95 hp engine. The main bearings didn't 
have "one  that was different" for number 4, the one that's 1.5 thousands 
off off. All of  the bearings plasti-gaged good. The torque to turn the crank 
with the pistons  is about 13 foot pounds. So is there a problem with  that?
