the slop you are taking about is crank side play??? ie flywheel moving in out
Purpletj:
ok guys. I discovered the crank seals are loose and spinning when I turn the crank. I also noticed the crank bearings had slop. So now i'm looking at rebuilding the crank and possible replacing the cases. Does any know if a machinist can replace just the crank bearing journals?
