21:32 why no oil on the rod? Can I use oil if I dont have lube? thanks for the clear detailed vid!

[@Pete_Tech_]

I meant no oil or lube on the physical rod, the bearings it’s an absolute must. You don’t want oil between the mating surfaces of the cap, that can deflect your torquing values for the rod bolts. Same applies to the main bearings.

Do you gap the oil scraper ring?

[@Pete_Tech_]

No, those already have enough gap and not enough mass to grow considerably. They are also exposed to significantly less heat than the uppers.

[@Pete_Tech_]
