The book says to rub them on sandpaper to get needed celarance - is that okay or should I send them to a machine shop.

How important is this? Steel rods and steel crank - Compstar. One of the old books I have say .020 for racing. I am getting a tight .010 measurement.

Thank you Perfconn.

If I understnd correct then I order the same part #, but instead of std I tell them .001 OR 1x. I see that is how it is listed in the catalouge.

Okay - if it is measuring that it is .0016 on the rods, do I need the .001 bearing set or what needs to be dome?

Thank you and I will use my micrmeter set.

Where are most mounting the cooler? On the deck like a late model?

The crankshaft and rods are new. 350 main jornals and large rod diameters.

Did some internet searches and answers seem to widely varied. Helping a friend with a IMCA modified motor build. Compstar crank 3.75, Compstar rods 6.00. Block is an older - but good - Chevy 4...

Can a GM block that has 184 inside the Bowtied logo on both sides be bored to 4.125 safely. This one has steel splayed caps also. I can get a better deal on it than a new SHP if it can be bored...

Thanks for the info.

I thought the Gapless used to be the hot/have to have item ???

Anyone still use Total Seal Rings? Top or 2nd gapless?

Anyone used one? Places like Day Motorsports has them for less than $1500 - Ready to assemble. That is like the price price of Dart SHP bare and needing machine shop work.

Inside diameter of the cam bearings that came with the block are 1.865. That was measured using calipers.

Can you possibly tell me what the diameter of the two bearings are?

As usual thanks for the advice. Anyting special about ordering one? Will the timing chain sprocket fit right without machine work?

All are Dart Iron Eagle blocks - SBC that is - big block cam bearings?

I know so much depends on many variables like cam, carb, etc. But in an outlaw mod that will only run a 1/2 track w/ no claim rules. What kind of differences would there be in following combos?
...

Can valve spring oiler type covers be used on a wet sump motor?

How about a Brodix HV1000 ? I have a similar combo, but that is the intake I have.

I know it has been asked - but here goes again.

4.125 bore, iron block and aluminum head. Fel-Pro 1004 or 1034 ??

Does the Brodix -10 take special pistons?

Will sell it for a good price if anyone is interested.

Okay. As always thanks for all the trusted information.

What kind of work to run wetsump?
