I got the short block assembled, took a while to get the bearing clearance set. I was looking for .0025 on the mains, and the number 2 main was coming in at .0023, I was able to sand the back of bearing, really just cleaned it up and got the .0025 I was looking for, the rest went together good with no problems, I had .0022 on the rods. The picture of the main bearings # 2 sanded, the number 1 as produced. Now the work will start, the heads are next, thats going to take some time.
