Re: 4g63 rebuilding fast

There's a lot of test fitting and taking measurements, not to mention small machining issues with some bearings. Two sets of Clevites I used last spring had small burrs on the ends, they took a little clean up before I was putting them in. Most of the measuring is really just to check up on the machinist though, there's not much you can do if the bearing clearance isn't right except bring it back to the machine shop. Plus setting the thrust bearing is probably the most crucial part of dropping the crank in.
