motorbike bottom end

Post by karter13 »

Question
I have a four stroke motorbike engine (crankshaft-rod-bearing assembly) and I want to check the clearances

crankshaft end play
big end bearing cage side clearance
crankshaft run out
etc

question is even though it is a four stroke engine (crankshaft-rod-bearing assembly) can I set the clearances up the same as if it was a two stroke engine (crankcase-rod-bearing assembly set up).

clearances I would use will come from a graham bells two stroke performance tuning (onto my four stroke engine).
thanks Steve.

Sorry for any confusion i am asking if it ok to set up the bottom end of a four stroke engine to the clearance specs of a two stroke in the case of a motorbike engine.

Thanks for your reply and picture in advance

I think people will need to know what specific engine and what specific components you are using in it. You can see from the other thread that there are a wide range of opinions. I put up the picture from the book you are referencing so other readers will know what clearance values you are referring to.

Hi Steve,

The manual for your engine can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/t7ldj ... Manual.pdf

You will find the measurements needed on 10-4 and 10-5.

Side clearance at connecting rod big end service limit: 0.80mm (0.032 in)
Radial clearance at connecting rod big end service limit: 0.05mm (0.002 in)
Crankshaft run-out service limit: 0.05mm (0.002 in)
