Sun, 13 February 2005 03:39 i would expect the 18rc and 18rg cranks are identical. ben, the reason the it is hard to turn the engine over is likely to be that the 18rc (revved out less often ) crank will be less abused and hence less worn and tighter clearances. what u are best off doing is put the first cylinder bearing cap on (plenty of oil) and turn the motor over by hand 5 times...... then repeat this process for the rest of the cylinders. if you bolt everything together at once, means u will struggle to get it to move from the bolt together position, but once its moved it should continue to loosen up as u wind it over. also, are they standard bearings??? are they over sized?? have u plastiguaged the bearings??? what are the clearances?? my bearings were all like 2 thou and the recomended is between 2 and 4 thou(i think). mine was pretty tight to turn over in the begining but loosened up [Report message to a moderator]
