Looking for anyone with experience rebuilding a 4.6L aluminum Teksid block. And what method(s) they used to check main and rod bearing clearances during assembly.
I’m leaning towards the older method of using a micrometer and lead impression wire to check clearance. This method is still considered the standard for measuring journal bearing clearances. But I’d like hear what others have done.
I also understand that it’s not uncommon for “Select fit bearings” being needed to obtain proper clearances with a 4.6L Teksid block. Has anybody run to this?
I’d appreciate any thoughts and recommendations anyone has.
Thanks
