After all that measuring, one rod would still bind up on any journal or any bearing. Brothers had me send all rods back and is sending me a new set. |

Waiting on rods to come back from brothers. Put a new diaphragm in the fuel pump. How much movement is correct in the lever for pumping?

Ugh, I think this is ok, but preferred would be that the oil line holes line up? Or is that what the channel is meant to do in this bearing seat?

Your bearing does not look right. I just went and looked at pictures from my rebuild and your bearing does not appear to be not aligned. I suggest you call Matthew Kenney (805-238-0912). He owns/runs Aircooled Research and specializes in 36HP engines. Could call Joe Ruiz (Mr. Okrasa) as well. Shoot them a picture. Also, 36hp rods do not self align like the late model engines. I doubt your rod was wrong, it just wasn't aligned...I went through this same headache with one rod on my engine. When you torque the rod bolts do them in stages, at each stage slightly tap the rod with a hammer at the joint of the rod halves...this assists in getting them aligned. Others use feeler gauges between the rod and crank. Speedwell USA sells Okrasa intake manifolds for dual 2bbls (IDF's and DRLA's) Picture of my engine...same half you show:  Dual Carbs:

I cannot believe Brothers sandblasted your case...not good, they should know better. Soda Blasting is best way to go with cases...dissolves in water Hopefully all the grains are out or it will be short lived |

I cleaned everything with a rifle cleaning kit, ran carb cleaner thru it. Then ran hose thru it. Ran hose thru it again. Probably still screwed, ugh this sucks. |
