I set the regular bearings and torqued their caps but left the center cap loose. I then applied pressure in both directions to the crank. I measured .004 end play, returns to 0 and torqued the center cap.
With a feeler gauge I measured the thrust bearing clearence @ .0025 on the back top and bottom but can't get a .0015 in on the front side. Does this need to be corrected? If so how?
The resident tech at total seal told me that ring flutter is a myth and that I should set both my gaps to .020. He went on to say that they purposely set out to cause it on a dyno and had a very difficult time doing so.
Any way .020 sound good for a 16 or 20g set up at around 25psi with a 8.8:1 actual compression ratio?
