The over sized cam bearing has been received and the block has been sent out to be machined.

He brought up a couple of other points about this engine when I was talking to him last night. A careful inspection of the block has revealed what appears to be welding near the rear main. This would indicate some sort or repair on a high cost, brand new block. He also said that the rods used were not the ones ordered and paid for (I am not sure which rods he ordered but the engine has Eagle rods in it). All in all, he is extremely unhappy with the service he has received from Dove.
