In Reply to: shimming main bearings posted by Dave on Tuesday, February 06, 2001 at 0:48AM :
I have had success shimming rods and mains
on an engine that had already been cut .030
, 030. I used aluminum foil between the
bearing and the cap. the foil I used was
.001~ this will only work if the crank is still round. Yes it does slightly deform
the bearing some but if you run it slow
It will wear in. If you have oil pressure problems these Engines have cam bearing with large oil holes in them to the galeries.
an old timers trick is when the bearing is replaced drill a 1/8 hole in the bearing and line it up with the oil passage not the 3/8 hole. Good luck!
