My crank didn't have any bend in it when I installed it. A quarter of a thousandth is a weird graduation for a dial gage. They are normally graduated at .001, .0005, or .0001. I wasn't suggesting changing the dial gage unless it has a short tip making it hard to position. I was suggesting you get a quality base so you can position it to check run out correctly. Your fine even with a .001 graduated dial gage, you'll still be able to clearly observe movement of a couple tens, but you need to check run out on all journals.

You didn't start this.... Chuck has been acquiring parts for his build for the past year now with the rest of LAN's customers... This thread is no different than my engine build thread that YT did or the one the LAN just finished.
He is talking about physically building a motor here, not just trying to make more hp N/A. WAY MORE technical stuff than ANYTHING in that Chike/Tom thread...

are you going to use stock HG's or did you get a set of cometics?

There are a lot of very nice dial gages on ebay for cheap.

I contacted ARP regarding preload on the studs, as I would prefer to just grind a little off the top of the stud. They said that grinding would be fine. They did not say that preloading was bad, but did not endorse it either. I don't see why it would be a problem, although it may be a little squirly on the threads. I also asked about breaking in the studs, as they recommend re torquing after a heat cycle. They did say that "breaking in" the studs could be done by torquing them 3 - 5 times. Problem is, they claim that the head gasket needs to be re compressed, so I don't think this would be affected by just doing the initial break in, unless the clamping force is such that it compensates for any gasket expansion. At least I don't need to pull the engine again and remove the darn cams to re torque everything.
Mike: did you say that we were about 0.05" high? If so I'll just pregrind this amount off the top before installing.

Give me a break! CP is recommending 0.0035 so 0.004 is going to be a problem? I seriously doubt it.

I am going to check the crank with a different dial gauge on Wed. This is really slowing down my build, as I will not be able to work on it next weekend. I will not be heating and pounding on polished and balanced crank that is bent less than a thousand. I have discussed this matter with my machine shop.

Ya but better safe than sorry. You are doing the right thing taking your time to check it.

No, there are a couple of impreza engine builders that use a .0040 sidewall clearance on their high hp builds to make sure their customers don't swell them up in the holes; they are just noisy when cold--you should be fine.
