The 216 in my 41 is leaking oil out the rear main seal. The machineshop used a neoprene seal and the surface of the crankshaft is a little rough so it leaks. I am installing a new roap seal (provided by the machineshop at no cost to me). So I am installing the seal and need tightening torque for the main bolts. My 1941 chevrolet service manual dosn't give a torque spec. for the main cap bolts. It only said to tighten the cap bolts and if it the crankshaft bound up then add a shim and check it again. NO TORQUE SPEC GIVEN. NO TORQUE SPEC. PAGE IN MANUAL. HUMMMMM!?!? HOW TIGHT IS TIGHT?
I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything! "Bart Simpson"
