got the block back today with some of the clearances checked. seems to be $75 well spent. the mains were too tight-.0015 to.0018, dart recommends .003. cylinder bores had a bit taper from top to bottom, 5 out of 8 srp pistons were pretty close in size and will have to be matched to cylinders to get the correct clearances because of the other 3. will have to purchase .001 under bearings for main and rod bearings.
with all the hassle and the money i was supposed to save keith craft would have been a good alternative but i guess the lesson is priceless
