Are the rods supposed to be able to move side to side along the crank like this? on a 22re

 

anyone?

 

Pirate - I think a little bit of movement in that direction is fine, especially on worn bearings. Are you thinking of replacing them? There are specs for the crank on movement in that direction, I guess it tells you if you need new thrust washers or something, but as far as I know, there is no "thrust" measurement for the rods. If that is your block and you have it down that far, sure would be easy to throw new bearings in there.

 

never mind guys I found the issues..........not bearings....see newest thread
