I know there's 2 or 3 things someone rebuilding a Studebaker 289 ('61) should know, that are slightly different from rebuilding more common engines from that era. On another forum, I gleaned this:
- Cinch bolts on the wrist pins
- Crank end play is set with shims
Is this correct info? And are there other things people would add to this? Taking my engine to a guy who's been rebuilding for 30 or 40 years, has a solid reputation around here and has done a couple of Studes many years ago. I have the shop manual which I'll leave with him, but would like to give him as much solid information as possible. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Dave
