... If someone can give me the measurements of an original crankshaft? Thank you The standard journal specs for the 292 crankshafts are as follows. Mains – 2.4984” ±0.0004” Rods – 2.1884” ±0.0004” It’s always recommended to install the bearings in their respective bores and then check those I.D. dimensions to insure that the oil clearance values will be in the ball park. My preference is to take those installed bearing dimensions and then grind the crankshaft accordingly for the desired oil clearance. Checking all the bearing thicknesses with a ball micrometer also helps to insure that all the bearings are indeed the same. The crankshaft can be ground either smaller or bigger than spec to get the desired clearance and that’s simply due to the different variances working against you. When the various component dimensions vary to the extreme positive or extreme negative, bearing clearances can be either too tight or too loose if relying simply on the standard based values. Bearing thicknesses due to manufacturing variances are the major culprit here when the machine work is within specs. thanks i take note

That hole sizing is fine but don’t go any larger than that. The oil flow can be further reduced by the size of groove you put in the back of the cam thrust plate.

Capelo. From John Mummert's web site, topic 'Y-BLOCK TECHNICAL INFORMATION', under 'Y-Block assembly errors' . . .Oil gallery plugs. Remove all oil plugs and the oil filter adapter before having your block hot tanked. I’ve had the best luck by drilling out the center of the oil plug, leaving the hex. After heating the plugs with a torch they come right out. I have never damaged a block using this method. Hope this helps!
