USE OF THE BRIDGES
The bridges and bearings are intended for additional support of boring
bar and are designed to compensate for any distortion of block oil pan
surface. It is not necessary to use bridges if centering rings are located
equally apart.
For example: If No. 1, 3, 4, 5 or 7 journals are to be bored and
centering rings are in 2 and 6 journals, bridges are not necessary.
1. Assemble bearing bar (ST-1177-22) on bearing bridge (ST-
1177-21) with hexagon head capscrew (ST-1177-23) finger tight.
2. Slide bearing over boring bar at point where support is
needed. Allow room for cutter holder, if next to journal being cut.
3. Lower line bore bridge (ST-1177-18) over bearing bar and
secure to oil pan rails.
4. Tighten socket head screw (ST-1177-25) in bearing until
bearing is snug on boring bar; do not restrict bar from turning.
5. Tighten hexagon head capscrew (ST-1177-25) in bearing bar
and socket head capscrew (ST-1177-19) in bridge.
6. Turn boring bar to see that it is free.
