Wow! Thank you so much for your reply Taffy!
I will perform the tests you described this weekend and get back with some results.
Just to be clear, when you say "shake the flywheel in different engine positions over 2 turns", do you mean that I should try to pull and push the flywheel left-right, up-down in different parts of the 2 revolutions?
I'm guessing this is to see if there is any radial play in the main bearings which would indicate that the bearing races are worn, is this correct?
Also, is turning the flywheel to and fro meant to show if the rod big end journal is worn or is it to measure gear backlash?
Ofcourse, you don't have to answer these questions, I would just like to learn as much as I can
Thank you again!
And by the way, are there any difficulties for you to ship to Sweden what with the coronavirus and everything? Just thought I'd double check
