Hey Guys!
Bad news Had the crank shaft freshly ground for the Conrod bearings we had been sent. Unfortunately, although the Conrod Bearings were stamped with measurement, when we went to fit, was wrong. We must have misunderstood the marking of .3 (as shown on bearing) to be 0.30ths rather than 0.3mm.
We were so close yet so far, almost was in tears after waiting 1.5 years for this engine. Now need to source correct bearings of 0.0030THS (0.0762MM). Could anybody help or know where I can source within Australia? Really don't want to source parts from France. Otherwise will grind crank big ends down to .8 (as I found we do have .8 bearings).
A sad day,
Thanks in advance guys,
James
