Engine Building: Setting Thrust I saw this Powernation video on youtube of a build up of a 4.3L V6 and at 10:30, they start talking about setting the thrust. I've read some books that say to hit the crank with a mallet but never have I seen anyone say to preload it when you torque the main bolts.
Anyone ever do it like this?
