Regardless of real or perceived reason for admission is generally easier to finish the project or find a good car that is a good old Chevrolet at odds with a 1925 Bentley that can be located in front of a fishing boat from Vancouver BC Canada. Although the parts for the older and what can be considered "vintage cars Chevy" almost in abundance, and interchangeable parts that can be exchanged between General Motors vehicles GM and the automotive division's products are easy to keep the human experience - hands on information, recommendations that have been learned through time and experience to work on these vehicles on a daily basis, which is the gold that is almost impossible to obtain. After all, many of these Chevrolet and GM engineers have long since retired and some have disappeared from the face of the earth. Even with Internet access to experts from around the world in a flash, but also the resources, such as eBay, Craigslist and Kijiji on hand can be very difficult if not almost impossible to gather these time-saving tips gathered from years of experience in working on this car. Here are some tips for your road is the speed, and almost fully complete your project when it is time to overhaul the engine and check the crankshafts vintage Chevrolet and other General Motors vehicles GM.
The first for the replacement of a connecting rod bearing, the connecting rod journal bearing to be accurately measured both wear and surface roughness. Ordinary three-inch outside micrometer is typically used for measuring connecting rod journals. The throws and magazines must be measured in length to control cone, and also measured in two places at full right angles to each other to see whether they originate from the tour.
Limits of generally accepted are.001 inch conical and round and 0.0015 inches, respectively. If the wear is greater than these values, then there is no doubt that the engine must be on the ground - preferably an experienced laboratory. The next if there is a roughness, must be reground also the magazine. When the journals are tapered out-of-round or scored be almost impossible to mount bearings with the result almost guaranteed that the bearing "knocking", loses an excessive amount of engine oil and you can almost bet that soon will no doubt completely so you Chevrolet and your money stuck on the road.

The beauty of these older engines and vehicles that were not only solid built with open areas to work within, but also that they are relatively simple mechanical devices. Vehicles today are not only close to work, very complex, but spends most of the electronic modules are sealed units in themselves and are not repairable.
Fortunately, this is not the case of a good old fashioned Chevrolet, motorcycles, and their storage. The phrase "run like a Chevy 'was undoubtedly deserved and earned. Have fun this summer with the car restoration project or projects.
