Nuts

Unknown

There's a lot of interesting talk re bearing clearances. But what does everyone do re the nuts on the big end bolts. I know somepeople here who replace the nuts with Nyloc nuts and loctite. Its easier than using the original nuts that may be stretched and eliminates lining up the holes for the split pins.

When I did my 24 Hud motor up, the machine shop poured new brgs and returned the alu crankcase to me with the crank turning nice. When I fited the block, piston & rods the motor was siezed. I used the plastiguage to check and had my .001 clearance as set up by the machineshop.  I assumed the reason was a tapered bore causing  the problem. Recently it was suggested that perhaps the shop had put more whitemetal on one side of the cap in the side thrust area causing the tightness. Any comments.
