My First Rebuild "PICS"
measuring the hell with it, I have built about 15 motors(piston motors) the only thing I ever measured was the crank journals to know what size of bearings to order, and they are all running strong except for a d-50 motor i rebuild for a friend it had a cracked piston that we didnt realize but it ran like a bat out of hell on 3 cylinders hehehe

Houston, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!
I had to open the engine again.
I was ready to check for end play, but the E-shaft would not move. It would only move if i tapped it with a rubber mallet. So I opened the block and found a small scratch on the shaft and that's where it was stuck. It also ruined the bearing. So My friend gave me a new shaft and I bought a new bearing. I'll close her again tomorrow.
I'm actually happy I get to do it again
