Cleaned up cylinders yesterday. Will finish hone when have pistons.
Mains checked out .002- .0025 no taper with plastigauge.
I'm puzzled on rods. Torqued assembled and checked with bore gauge.
All were to tight ranging from negative .002 to .003.
Some had 3 shims some had 1. One rod had 3 on one side and none on other.
This was a assembled nos shortblock when I bought in 2011. Still had cosmoline on it. I disassembled in 2011 and put on shelf till now.
Seems to me rods should have been adjusted at factory. ?
I suppose I could have lost some during disassembly back then but on every rod?
Plan is to go back through and start with 3 shims on each side on Monday.
Thanks to all for suggestions and recommendations, John
