    With the crankshaft and bearings in the block and with the main bearing bolts torqued to spec the end play should idealy be 0.004 to 0.006 thousandths. 0.003 is minimum and 0.010 maximum. Pry the crank all the way forward or back and use a feeler gauge or set a dial indicator up and pry crank back and forth while reading gauge. Be sure to have assembly lube on crank.
