Well im building up a 5.0L. I installed the crank after it was ground down 10 thou, I was installing the pistons when one of the covers that go on the rod bolts fell off. I didnt notice and sure enough it made contact with the crankshaft... It didnt look like much.
I put the connecting rod cap on with the new bearing, put some assembly lube on it, bolted it to the rest of the connecting rod and spun the crank a few turns.I removed the cap and felt the bearing with my finger nail. It did remove material...bearly enough to catch my fingernail.
Do i have to take the crank out to get machined.. again? Or would it be ok to contuine on with installation?
