The 300whp Super clean daily driver
#22
Update: I have my block back from the machine shop and have started assembling my bottom end (sorry no pictures.) However, I've run into a problem. The pin hole on my connecting rod is too small. It's about .05mm too small. Great, another setback. It's looking like I might have to take my rods back to the shop to have the small end honed to spec. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I just try to return my rods?

That's what I figured. I guess that's what happens with these China parts.
That sounds sketchy I'm not sure I would be comfortable doing it with my finger. But if it worked for you maybe I could rig up a way to do it? A drill maybe? I do wanna know what everyone else thinks? According to this manual I'm reading it is necessary that the pistons float freely.
I had to hone mine. I was lazy and cheap and just did it myself. 800 grit sand paper around my finger. It took hardly anything. 1000 miles so far on 20 lbs boost. With the wrist pins floating in the pistons, I don't think it was even necessary. What do the rest of you say?

You can kind of see the contrast of the green in my blue engine bay. I can't wait to put the engine back in this thing it's going to look so mint.
