Took the end shaft play on the front counterweight
Hi guys,
I rebuilt my engine yesterday. I measured the end shaft play by putting the dial indicator on the front counterweight. When I arrived at home, I noticed that the fsm puts the dial indicator on the front hub. To me there should be not difference in the reading but I wanted to make sure.
What do you guys think?
Thanks.

Well from my experience a high amount of endplay can damage the front torrington bearings and possibly cause bearing failure. I say this only because I have taken apart 1 engine with a failed rotor bearing and measured the endplay at over 0.005"....now whether that actually made the rotor bearing fail or not, I could not find any other reason.
