Once i get the block back i will measure the mains and figure out what bearings i need to get. One of these day the motor will be in and running.
Oops... epic fail.

So basically #4 is right. I think you've figured out why #1 & 2 were so bad. If I saw these #'s, I'd align bore it. It's okay if #3 is a lil' on the loose side for the crank, but the block seems to be where all the variance is. The reason why I'd align bore it is so I don't have to buy several sets of bearings to piece together a fix for that. You want to be able to replace them with 1 standard set, or one off-sized set if you can.

align hone FTW. sounds like you should have done that from the get go. Not to be a dick, buy with all you have into this why didn't you do that from the get go?

I contacted the guy i bought the motor from, and he said it was running fine, no problems with the bearings.

Jafro the spun rod bearing was from the first block i bought. I will call around some other places to see what their rates are.

I know about the motor, you 'splained that on the phone... I think you misunderstood me. My post was edited because at first, I replied to you just quoting you, and that was all I posted. I had to edit in my response, so I <me epic failed at interweb. Not you. I epic failed like the epic.fail.guy. I'm not breakin' your balls. The HAN server probably mailed you an update with just your post in it... just to prove my epic fail.

I used to post funny shit when I'm sick. Now I should just stay in bed. I'm old.

Just to echo Civic2ScoobyNback, you'd probably just need it honed. Align Bore is probably overkill because they have to shave the main caps and cut a new hole. A good hone would probably even 'er out.

I hope your motor is up and running soon. Do you remember what we spoke about when I came by to pick up those parts?
