turns out the machine shop undersized my crank by .010 with out telling me. I already opened my mains but i haven't opened my rod bearings so i can return those. I found some .010 over regular ACL bearings I'm gonna get.

I got a bit done today though, spent all morning scouring DFW for a damn piston ring filer, Oriley's saved my ass and got one from Oklahoma. So i filed my top compression rings to .019, and the bottom compression rings were already .023.




So we went ahead and put the pistons/rods in the block





Then we bored out my IM to 70mm to match my TB

J13 sooo mad
good shit. I dont have enough faith in myself to put a bottom end together. I think later on when I have time and more money ill do it, but I let Lj @ full blown motorsports assemble the bottom end. He is a master at what he does.

I too am running a wiseco/eagle setup. If I do another setup for the bottom end Im doing manley/cp
