Hey guys I'm in the process of rebuilding my engine and would like some input,
the block has been magnifluxed and is waiting to be bored (had to be .20 over)
the crank seems good but the rotating assembly is getting sent off for knife edging and balancing
Im studding the mains and using a-1 rod bolts and getting the mains line bored due to the clamping force of main studs
now my questions begin
is it really necessary to knife edge the crank on a dd and part time race rig?
should i spend the money to cryo rods on a truck rarely turning 4k? and if so should i do it after the balancing or before?
where the heck do I find a .20 over head gasket?
my head studs are used but can I get away with using them again?
can i make common rail rocker studs fit into a "99 cylinder head, it doesn't seem like from what I'm seeing
Is this build over kill for 650 rwhp?
and finally how the heck do I break it in? to seat rings and not mess up the new cam?
