Randall Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I bought a 2.8 f54 block from a junkyard had it cleaned inspected, de-glazed and crankshaft polished. everything came back good so i ordered std bearings and rings and gaskets from zcarsource.com I just put the crankshaft in with the bearings/lube and torqued it down to 40 ft/lbs following the FSM. now to the problem... i went to spin the crank and i can only turn it by pushing on the counter weights? It should spin fairly easy right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 well i was going through the fsm today and read through installing the crank again and realized i forgot to align every thing by giving the end of the crank a good smack with a mallet. So i loosened all the bolts smacked it and tightened everything back down to 35 ft/lbs and i can now turn it with my hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
