Set the end play - It;s right at .005 right where it needs to be - another testament to the BPE crank being dead on balls accurate! Need to check the clearance of the counterweights? Need to get in to a tight spot? Need a flexable feeler gauge? measure a zip tie ( this one was .060 and the crank spun with it between the counterweight and the webbing. Rod clearance was right on at .016 - quality rods and quality cranks sure make assembly easy!!!

I've used .060" Electrical cable 'Zip Ties' (aka Ty-Raps) to check cam lobe-to- connecting rod clearances and rod to pan rail/bore bottom gaps on stroker motors for years! They're just the right width to get in where a traditional feeler gauge won't go, and in the case of cam lobes I'd just cinch them up tight on the lobes themselves. Looks fantastic buddy!

A nice build indeed.Great info.Will this block need hard block?
no it's an X block, and a noticeable increase in strength over a stock block.
& thanks Wize.... it's been a long road.

why would you need to meausure crank throws for cl? Is it because of the caps?
The throws, or more specifically the counterweights were real close to the top of the block - the X block has a little more meat in these areas and it is tight. But it all fits
