I sourced another bearing local. $30 mistake. I did not check clearance I'm gambling that since the crank is untouched except a polish. It should be good. other than this last rod, they move freely side to side.

Ok I'm putting pistons in and did one side. rod number 1-3-5-7 I snugged up the caps as I went but not full torque yet. everything is turning smooth. I got number 2 in and snugged it and it was harder to turn. I went 1 turn and notice I put the cap on backwards ffs. I took it off and popped the...

looks like my stock one is 4.300

the stock gasket is 4.322 4.300 (this gasket below is a victor gasket) and so maybe 4.350 would be right on the money? ok maybe not stock it has facory stanps and part number but also has this 1157RS? part number also

when they bore the block. is that original bevel retained or do they get past it?

thanks for the replies. I can get stock shims but I'm 30 over and the stock shim was aready borderline with the bore. I'm afraid a stock shim will hang over. I couldn't see anything in the FSM about service head gaskets or part numbers. The mr gasket ones are huge 4.450 and people say they got...

anyone?

on my 383 with 4.281 bore, what size gasket should I use? 4.350 or 4.380? I wouldnt want it hanging into the bore. Seems thats all I can find is the cometic. I'd like a steel shim but mr gasket is 4.400 thanks!

I did give the rod bearings. I dont know if every rod and crank was exactly 2.5002 2.3740 I'm just gonna lightly chamfer that edge so its not scraping. Ill hose the bigends down and blow them off too

says 2.5002 but the sheet looks incomplete. I only see a bore gauge mark on a few rods but thats why I paid someone $2800 to take care of all that....now I'm unsure if it was really checked thoroughly. I didnt get a balance sheet from the guy he sent it to either. He said he's old and grumpy and...

I made it easies to see now sorry. It looks like it came from the factory like that. that lighter gray area looks to been rubbing. I think I will take the cap off and massage that edge a bit so it isnt a sharp step. not much else I can do really What do you make of that?

I gave all the face to face surfaces a rub. they were all not bad but 2. the highspots scratched the paper. 1 was easily rubbed away but 1 is the esge of the cap catching. Not sure how to take care of that....I wonder if that number 3 rod cap is the mate to the rod? thats quite a edge poking out...

I guess both versions accomplish the same thing.

which one looks cracked please

I contacted the place I bought the cam and lifter kit with the pictures and they said not to use them and I have another set in the mail from them. Hopefully they look better. I also called comp cams and sent the pictures and they just remained neutral and said I should decide myself. pretty...

you want that red spring in the hole at the end of the kickdown rod to the front where the green one is also

Its just the waiting to get the parts then to inspect them then send them back wait rinse and repeat. Back in the day I dont think I even looked, just threw them in and no problems. If someone said, "thats nothing, they will wear a bit and polish themselves out that would be ok" but with all the...

Having a hard time getting the camera to see these gouges. here are some. the rest are all similar
