First LS build
#41
Measured the bearing end on my rod set. All were within a tenth. Doing wrist pin bores after work.
Update: did the wrist pin bores and there was only 2-3 tenths of clearance. So I'm going to hone them out to 9 tenths to get the right oil clearance.

Crank is at the machine shop getting the reloctor ring installed. Going into the shop Sunday to hone out the bores for the new pistons. Can't wait to start doing pre-assembly. Finally start feeling like I'm moving forward with the build after buying all these parts.

*****! I was hoping to get away with not having to line hone the block, but I'm not so fortunate. Went through measuring the main bore housings and they were a little big. Changed the bolts since I was using the factory type TTA bolts thinking maybe they had streached. The measurements stayed the same.
