Nothing wrong with a nicely done 350... I like domestics too, im an all around enthusiast. I just dont have the money to build one of those right now, still in college. Someday, i'll have a garage with 3 or 4 cars just for fun.
They sell undersize bearings for the regrind but I need in-between sizes because of honda's percise clearances. I'm sure this would work, but I want matched oil clearance like OEM. I just figure better to go ahead and shell out the $$ for a new crank, than have a spun bearing later. I'm gonna boost this motor so it needs to be 100%. Thanks for your input!
