Well I finally got all my ducks in a row and started putting this engine
back together. I would love to say it smooth as silk , but not.
I was having a heck of a time getting crankshaft end play correct as
when I would take the bearing plate off the bearing would always stay
with the crank. Got that dealt with and then things went south.
Could not get the bearing plate to torque down right. It just seemed
odd the way it was tightening up. I did manage to get it to about 20
foot pounds and then snapped a bolt off in the head.
Now I got big troubles.
That seemed like a lot of torque on that aluminum plate. Never been
real successful at removing broken bolts. Dang.
Is it possible that the book has a misprint. It says a K181 needs 115
inch pounds and a K301 is 35 foot pounds. How can it be that different?
Help
Ken
