They are a tighter tolerance O.D. Katech specifies they hold a tighter tolerance when they are sold as a matched set. I have both sets in my hand.

Personally, I prefer the Katech version with the tight tolerance bodies.

I bought the Katech version specifically for the tighter tolerance and dropped them off this weekend with the block at the machine shop. After all the machine work is done hes going to test fit them in the bores to see if they fit.

Cragon Automotive in Ashtabula. I am working with Summit Racing and Cometic Gasket on this build and the guys at Cometic recommended Cragon. He's done a bunch of chevy/LS stuff and was very reasonably priced.

Interesting.. Never heard of them before. I figured you went with Michael's or somewhere around there. I have CAMs do my work.
