I installed new Beck Arnley main bearings in my motor. For setting the thrust bearing I have installed the crankshaft and main caps with Clevite Engine Guard. I snugged all the main bolts to 15 pounds and then loosened the main#3 cap. I wacked on the front of the crankshaft with a dead blow hammer about 6 times. I then attempted to pry the crankshaft forward but there is no end play movement.   I setup a dial indicator and proved that there is no movement even though the crank spins freely.  

what gears do the 87 starions come with in the rear end stock...and what is a real good gear to use for the street/strip..or is the stock gearing in the rear end good...thanx

In Bellingham house hunting this weekend, cold and rainy seems to be the norm. We look to move around June after the kids finish school. I'm liking it here, reminds me of a cross between MN and northern Cal. How many questers near me?
