Dusty53, good question, to line bore the mains on this engine would be alot less work if you compare it to the time spent adjusting the shims to achieve a match between the crank and the mains. If you line bore the mains a center line would have to be agreed on and then each bearing would have to be adjusted to accommodate the new diameter. Remember always shoot for the moon if you miss you land in the stars. There is a passion that drives me to achieve the things that are greater me. Hopfully these montras will help support my reasons for the seamingly endless attention to details. To the rod question, 10 thousand under rod bearings were purchased. We then installed them into the rods. Having previosly marked the side of the rods days before we measured each rod diameter with the bearings in. If they were within spec great if not the rod bearing was then conditioned. All the rods were conditioned.
