Hot 340/418 street/strip build
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS double check all critical clearances. Machining is definitely expensive. This block required quite a bit of rework on this last go around. Between decks requiring correction, the correction on the bores, and the rebalancing required on the reciprocating assembly, I was north of $2k in machining. You bet your *** I'll still check all bearing clearances, piston bore clearances, thrust end play, and everything else.
