Oil clearances and a surprise

I was wondering about that. I'll have a talk with the new machinist tomorrow. It would be nice to start assembling it soon. It'll also be nice when I get the pistons and rods back so I can start my rod bearing clearance checks. I'll try to organize the bearing shells so that the clearances are at least above .002" maybe .0021" like the first mock-up.

Thru out all this , I didn`t read anyone warning you about the rods facing the right way, better check the chamfer on them too.
