Default Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.

As promised welded guide plate pics. Spent the day frustrated, all we had to do was check the mains and start assembly. #3 main seemed weird in that the cap didn't snap in the block, I could push it in real easy, wasn't like that before, and the bearing was .0005-.0007 tighter than the rest. Pulled the bearing, re-torqued and the bore read .0005 tighter than when it was align honed. I replaced all the new bearings with the old set of King's I kept and although they seemed to check more consistent betwen all of them, #3 was still screwed and for some reason everytime I torqued the mains it comes back with a different measurement. Engine pic is of it being checked with the King bearings. The camels back... it's broken!
