Installing my crank in the case. I get all the main bearings to drop on the pins. I used the method of setting the other half of the number 3 split main on the crank to see if it rocks at all. I can't seem to get absolutely zero movement from it. It is slight movement maybe .001, is this acceptable or no good?
Thanks

Post this question in the performance forum and you might get a little more traction.
Good luck.
