| I'm replacing the rod and main bearings on my D14. Does anyone know the torque on the caps and the acceptable oild clearance? |

Rod bearing clearance ..0.0006-0.0027 Rod nut torque (Ft.-Lbs.) ....35-40 Main bearing oil clearance is 0.002-0.004. Install inserts with projections engaging the machined slots and with slots in cap and block on the same side of engine. Bearing cap retaining cap screws should be tightened to 90-95 Ft.-Lbs. of torque. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I'm within tolerance then. On the torque, I was guessing 45 on the rods and 100 on the mains, so I should be alright. Did the mains and 1 rod yesterday and a storm blew in. Thanks guys.
