    running rough after rebuild.

    I noticed that when I rotate the distributor back it runs better but still misses. am I 1 tooth off? and if so when I pull the distributor should I rotate the shaft toward the rear 1 tooth or toward the front of the tractor 1 tooth? it just has no high revs and is running a little rough at idle(...

    bearings ( main)

    would an "under size" bearing be thicker or thinner than standard? My thought is that when you turn down a crank the bearing would have to get thicker to make up the space. any thoughts. thanks trevor.
