play

just installed an arc rod in my gx200 with a flat top piston. stock bore piston and stock length rod. i have torqued the rod bolts to the manufacturers recommendation and i am noticing a slight amount of play between the crankshaft journal and the rod. its almost like the end play on a crank...

When i ran my new engine last weekend i noticed visible crankshaft end play as it ran....like 3/32 or so...easy to see... You could see the crank float in/out ....seems like allot to me.... Anyone? Jim

Sooo my brother in law got his PS3 so he could play Black Ops and all that jazz, and isn't using my old PS2 anymore, so I took it home and have been messing with it.. The nieces were playing it last and deleted all of our GTA San Andreas info.. :glare: SO I've been rebuilding all that...

Just finished putting gx200 together. I am concerned about the crank shaft side play. New rod and crank. The side play is zero. When the bolts are finger tight there is some side play but once torque I don’t feel any. It doesn't seem to be binding when torque. Is this OK. Should I run 2 side...

I had another thread going but figured it might be good to start a new one now that I have identified the problem. one question is this amount of play in the crank normal?? 100_0212.MP4 - YouTube replace bushing/bearing?

How much crank end play is ok:shrug:

My son has a doodle bug that is stock with the exception of a ProMod jackshaft (which we love, by the way). I noticed this weekend while lubing the cluch bushing that the crank shaft has about 1/16 inch or slightly more of play in it. It is not side to side, but in and out. That doesn't seem...

I had a guy call me today to sell me a Minibike. He lives a good hour away in the hills, and is computer illiterate with no digital camera either. He doesn't know what it is, and he bought it for his daughter in 1972. He said it was blue, so I thought maybe Bonanza. He didn't remember any...

My new Max Torque (#35, 3/4") clutch has some play along the crankshaft of a new 6.5HP Lifan engine I just bought from HF. Has anyone seen this before? I guess I'll look for a washer/spacer to keep the clutch from slopping back and forth along the shaft.
