Big Inch Flatty: Crank endfloat fix. Part 2. Setting the endfloat.

[Mart]

I had to pull the Big Inch Flatty form my Sedan due to oil leaks and rattling. I was also aware of excessive crankshaft end float. In the previous video I looked at the PCV and built up the thrust surface of the rear main bearings with Babbitt material. In this video I assemble the bearings into the motor and take care of the endfloat.
To clarify: This crank is the one I fitted to replace the one that burnt up after the first start with the Volvo box fitted. The burnt up crank will be featured in a future video.

I always enjoy you working through issues as they pop up. Thanks for the videos.

Can't say that I've ever soldered up a set of bearings to tune the end-play, but I can see no reason why this should not work. Nice job Mart!
