[QUOTE="jbrown1238, post: 13715418, member: 56552"] The crankshaft has been washed with soap and water and the oil passages thoroughly cleaned with a wire brush. It was then sprayed with lubricant to displace the water, and then blown with compressed air to get rid of the excess lubricant. The crankshaft was then carefully wiped clean with a fresh shop towel and set aside for the moment. [ATTACH=full]529481[/ATTACH] The main saddles of the block have been cleaned and are ready to receive the bearings. [ATTACH=full]529482[/ATTACH] The main caps, main cap fasteners, and crankshaft have all been covered in plastic during the assembly process and will be uncovered individually as each piece is needed. I am doing my best to try and keep everything as clean as possible. At this point the main bearings are uncovered and ready to be installed. [ATTACH=full]529483[/ATTACH] The first bearing is pressed by hand into place and then followed by each of the others until the block is fully loaded. [ATTACH=full]529484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529485[/ATTACH] After the main bearings in the block are covered with assembly lube the crankshaft is set into place. The first main cap is fit with its particular bearing and a generous portion of assembly lube is spread on to the bearing surface. [ATTACH=full]529486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529487[/ATTACH] The main cap is gently set in place and the fasteners are lightly threaded until the remaining caps and fasteners have been brought to the same point. [ATTACH=full]529488[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529490[/ATTACH] Once all of the main caps have been lightly placed and the fasteners threaded each main cap is “set” with the assistance of a rubber mallet. [ATTACH=full]529491[/ATTACH] Then each of the main caps are torqued to 40 pounds according to sequence starting with the thrust bearing and working outward. Once all of the main caps are torqued to 40 pounds the crank is “set” with a rubber mallet in both directions to align the thrust bearing. [ATTACH=full]529492[/ATTACH] Once the thrust bearing is aligned the main caps are all torque to 66 pounds. Next step will be checking crankshaft end play and hopefully moving forward with installing the rods/pistons. But that will need to wait until another day.
