As an old time engine builder i always double check everything. In this case this is my new engine for the MIDNIGHTER. My High performance Turbo Coupe. (5.0 and camaro eater) I Installed the main bearings and checked the thrush end play before installing the caps(standard procedure).Right on the money .006. After installing the lower caps i lost the end play completely??? So i took it apart and tried another set. Same thing??? What was going on??
So i posted for a used bearing and B replied that he had a new clevite 77 for position 3. I was estatic to say the least. Because i did not want another Seal power one. B so kindly sent me the bearing and look at the results. The Seal Power bearings inside diameter was off by a MILE. The clevite was perfect. I called Seal Power with absolutely no help and basically was told i was doing something wrong. So with that said i sent my S/P rep walking and i do not use their stuff any more. Look at the difference in the inside diameter of the bearing.Its off by a mile. Now the only problem i have is i need a clevite rep to visit me in place of the S/P guy. Once again I thank B from the bottom of my heart for helping me out with this issue. THANKS B!!!!
DONT USE Seal Power Main Bearings untill they fix the problem. I personally do not think they will. Just ME!!
