Re: Manual transmission causes crankshaft wear!
I believe that the engine that I just took apart has less than 7000 miles on it since I built it using the best of everything. The walk on the crankshaft was 0.032". It should be no more that 0.0045". I installed a new bearing to recheck it and the walk was 0.020''-0.018". The wear was only on one side of crankshaft, on the side that the crankshaft gets pushed to when the clutch is depressed.
I have to replace the crankshaft, or find thicker bearings for it in terms of width, to compensate for the crankshaft wear.
Note, I would only try this on my personal engine after much more research!
