there's the shortblock of it all.
second machine shop was better but still had to work to get everything where i wanted. x bearings ended up being too much clearance, .003 range, after they resized the crank mains to all the same measurement and touched the block with a boring bar so i ended up using reg bearings and was in the low 2's which is where i wanted to be. funny how 5 pounds either side of rec torque can net 2 tenths. also learned to keep fingers off the gauge if i was to get repeatable measurements. crank throws were polished but not checked and i ended up splitting a set of bearings to get the clearances at around .0024 with one at .0026, little more than i wanted but best i could do.
after i got a couple pistons installed i checked the deck and they were around .025 out of the hole so somebody was fudging somewhere and i had to get thicker head gasket.
degreeing the cam was kind of interesting. watch the gauge take up the lash of about .010 then all of a sudden it starts to climb pretty fast and goes through the .050 measurement spot on, amazing.
things are back on hold right now while i get some pushrods, longer rocker studs, and other misc.
more pics in couple weeks.
