In mixing and matching the bearing shells the SOT (Stupid Oldman Trick) bit me in the butt. Old folks should not try to do any work in their head, there is no room, it is full of useless information. Long story short I put the wrong shells in the caps and the clearances were way off. After disassembling I miked the shells and replaced thick ones with thinner ones and everything looks like it might work. We will know on dyno day.
Thanks Mr JR and Mr Byrd |

The Total Seal Ring Grinder was my Christmas, Birthday, and Anniversary gift all rolled into one. Talk about a thoughtful wife. The Total Seal piece is very predictable. If you need another .005" to make target on your ring gap it will do it. It does a good job on on the oil rails too but I can not be heavy handed.

Rings are done, I think. I still may have to adjust pull on the oil rails. So far everything has been coming in the shop just in time. Its been fun working on some different aspects of trying to go fast, but I still have more questions than answers.

Having to make a ring compressor because the one I ordered got delayed in shipping. Thanks Fed X. I did not have enough material to make a real one just enough to install the piston with the oil ring to check drag.
