I think I have a problem with one of the conrods - HELP

<< < (5/5)

Bryanj:
If it now spins free and the clearance is OK I would say you have sorted it, doesn't take much to loose the clearance, had somebody oil the back of the shells once and that caused problems

Looking back I just don't know why I didn't clean the bearing faces - I did Evaporust the outside light surface rust from the conrods ages ago - just missed cleaning this bearing surfaces. I also double checked the mains for any high spitting as I had rotated the crank quite a lot.

Had I Torqued the crank on the bench I might have found the problem before fastening up.
