pulled my motor out and apart!!
Perfection!!!!!!!!!!
this motor has 150-200 passes, 2 seasons sub 9 sec passes, lots of 8,000+ rpm runs etc etc etcand
my main and rod bearing dont have a mark on them!!!! everything is perfect!!!!all my rings are perfect, skirts are perfect, walls are perfect timming chain has a little slack but not more then expected.
im going to drop the block off next week to get cleaned up etc, i spoke to GRP, the recomend that if im going to spray it with 400 next year i buy new rods, so i will be selling my rods, other then that, new rings and bearings and im on my way.
my buddy lou helped me put together a good ******* motor!!!!

Sounds like it was done very right the first time. Good luck with the freshening. Its always good to hear things like this when so many just throw together hackjobs and then when it breaks they say "That's racing"'

Great to hear no damage to the bottom end. That motor sure does rip. Helluva crew you got there. the guys can build fords and chevies that run strong. Sure youll be quicker next season.

yea, when this motor went together we checked everything, we went threw we set everything up perfect, bearing clearance etc etc, and it shows. ****, i could reuse the rod bearings if i wanted to they are PERFECT!!!heres a few pics, as you can see, rings and pistions are perfect, rods are mint, if you look at the bearing in the rod, you will see perfection!! the block looks like hell, its been in the car for 2 years. lol but look at everything else, and look at the crank its perfect. i will have it polished and call it a day. super happy everything looks this good, it should be a cheep freshen, and i will have the cash to do a vacum pump and a few other little things to help with going faster!!

FYI, if you have 150-200 passes on those rods...they most likely have zero value...nobody in their right mind will buy a set of Aluminum rods with that many laps on them
