it was a crate motor!
On the tag it read "put oil in it before you run it"
So based on the fact that it was a Dart motor that was built by professionals, I only plasti gauged the rod bearings because the only thing i was swaping was te pistons & rods out so that could have the compression i wanted. I really should have not relied on a multi-million dollar company of professionals to have the correct clearances in the 12,000 dollar motor!
Learned my lesson, if you want it right, do it your self!!!
Either way, all will be good, very soon!
