All I know is at the bottom of every cylinder needs clearance for the rod bolts when using H-beams.
When studding the bottom end the rear main stud under the oil pump needs to be ground down and the use of a 12 point nut along with grinding the bottom of the pump itself.

Always check these after market cranks especially the chinese ones.
And if you end up with a set of regular old main bearings YOU MUST PUT THEM ON A LATHE AND NARROW THEM otherwise your crank will not turn.

On the rods you will find as with all radius journal cranks that you need special narrow rod bearings, they will be marked upper/lower don't mix them up or you could do as the mains and lathe.


just a few things to bring this back to planet earth. he he
