I had mocked up my 416 with some old scuffed up bearings
(I didnt have the new bearings yet) and I felt a snug
spot in the couple of times I turned the crank...
I thought it was the old bearings... I put the new
bearings in and checked it again... it gets snug, so
I took it over to crank shop... well he called me today
to say the front is bent between #1 and #3 mains so
I asked if he could straighten it but he prefered to
cut it... its a new Scat/Mopar 4" that I've had for
a couple of years... it was .002 out .... I dont
know if I'll ever get this engine together... I should
have gone smaller and used my billet crank thats
just sitting around... that one is a 3.79 and I could
have off ground it
