Quote: Main bearings are Clevite MS-876P,rod are Clevite CB-743H.Both were supplied with the kit.The rods bearings do not have interference with the radius.
My rod bearings clear also. I am using Clevite CB-743HN, this replaced the CB-743H bearings as all of the "H" are now narrowed "HN" as I understand it.
Quote: crank end play was checked and were in spec.It came in at .006,.004 to .009 is acceptable.
Mine turned out to be 0.005", so it was fine too.
You can't find 527HDs anymore,HNs is about the only choise.
i ordered CB527HND that is what i used 2 yrs ago but thay were just a hair too wide and needed files edges.
