OK. Well I gave all my parts to a machines and had faith he knew what he was doing. He gave me the ok everything is good and I took the parts home and measured bearing clearance for piece of mind and assembled. The guy has a good rep for machining and engine building. I guess ya really don't what quality of work your getting til ya have a failure.
I know what ya mean.. I've been there... my one engine didnt
make a 1/8 mile before it let go... luckily it didnt take out
a ton of stuff.. a lifter let go.. that took out 1 head, a
couple of pistons and a cyl bore... a sleeve on the block
with a new head were the big parts.. that was a quick $3500
for that
