However, most of you are working with a re-manufactured case, a re-manufactured crank and re-manufactured rods. In other words, most likely all of your pieces for the short block assembly needed machine work. Therefore, your machinist will be able to inform you as to the measurements from standard that were necessary to machine from your components. On the Crank, he will give you a measurement that will be under standard; same for the rods. On the case side of the main bearings, he will give you a measurement that is over standard, a result of line boring your case if it was necessary. The thrust measurement from the standard applies only to the front main bearing. On the outside circumference of the bearing, there is a large groove that runs the full width. This is where the bearing fits on the case halves. This area of the case is subject to side loading (Thrust) and sometimes is damaged. If your case needs machine work here, the under standard size is what your machinist will tell you to obtain in a main bearing size. Visit our Mid America Motorworks Air Cooled VW eBay store!
