Finally talked to the machine shop.....I'm going to drop everything off next week for the machine work.
Had some spare time this morning so I removed all the casting flash from the lifter valley area and smoothied it out....people tell me thats a recommended thing to do and it doesn't take long. Better now before the block gets tanked and cleaned.
Spent some time late last night (am - couldn't sleep) going through the workshop manual, good reading for explaining the interior of the engine. I recalled that you can screw up and get the pistons put on the wrong way as they have off-set pins.....so I just wanted to refresh my memory on that.
Rods get fitted so the tangs on the bearings face the cam.Regards,

That's good to know. Do you have any pics of them? The turned aluminum inserts bumps the cost from like $350 to $600 right?
HELP!!!
