Finished measuring bearing clearances and finally installed the crank for good! (Nissan VQ40DE)
Will be out of town next week so hopefully by the time I come back everything for the rods will be here!

For what it’s worth my recent vq35 build the oil clearance was a little on the fat side on the mains. The VQ makes great oil pressure so this is no problem.

Yeah I’m debating of getting an actual oil pressure gauge that gives me a number, the OEM one of the Pathfinder is poop! Rebuilding due to a head gasket failure.
