I have an a65 with 12 thou of end float. As soon as the engine fires up it pulls the crank to the timing side. With a DTI on the stator end revving gently it stays this way, only on stopping the engine does it "clunk" back to the left as it literally stops. I stupidly forgot to check end float when the engine was apart for a gearbox problem earlier in the year. The engine has done very little mileage for approx. ten years and has had the timing side bush done just before I bought it last year. I am presuming that the end float was incorrectly set up then. So far I have added about 2k to it with only about 400 miles since I noticed the issue and as it will have the engine stripped totally in a few months I was wondering what the general consensus was regarding still using it? Oil pressure is spot on and from the crank and timing side bush drawings the oil will never be cut off to the rods. I can see the possibility that the oil pump outer casting may touch but my opinion is I would need about 20 thou to have that problem. Am I looking on the bright side or am I leaving myself open to a catastrophe I have over looked! I have the Distinguished gentleman's ride in a few weeks and hoping for a few more jaunts before winter but that's about it really.
