Stop in for a cup of coffee

Some machining may be unnecessary for a simple street build. Checking straightness and clearances don't cost much but time. For instance, no need to line bore unless there is an issue. Turn and/or polish the crank as needed. Check the clearances and install it with assembly lube. If the crank spins freely you should be good.

My block was tanked, magnafluxed, line bored, decked to .00, bores honed with plates.

Crank was polished, didnt need turned, and rebalanced for the new rods and pistons etc

Shop is very reputable locally anyway.

The key for my low buck build was finding things on sale and using Advance Autos TRT41 code they had at the time that took 40 percent off purchases of 100 or more. Plus it was stackable with the 20 percent military discount they had at the time. I’m probably the reason they don’t have that code anymore haha
