The big end bearings on my x18xe1 engine feel very tight on the crank journals.
I took apart another x18xe1 I have and they feel just as tight on this engine too,
When i put a c16se rod and bearing on the x18xe1 crank it all spins freely, as it should:wtf:
does anybody with experience of these engines know if the extra resistance is 'designed into the engine', would I be better running the c16se rods on the x18xe1 crank and pistons? :confused:
