Play present







[1] Little end bush at top end of acceptable tolerance. Replace.
[2] Little end bush oil hole misaligned.
[3] Camshaft journal is in poor condition, needing a light regrind. Bush diameter must be finish bored to provide factory clearance (0.0005 – 0.002”).
[4] Journals are at bottom of acceptable tolerance. Bush diameter must be finish bored to provide factory clearance (0.0015 – 0.0025”).
[5] Clearances acceptable but white metal flaking from both front & rear bushes. Bushes to be replaced.
