Ok, after checking, and re-ordering a new set of bearings, I decided to get to work on this while I'm waiting.

The plugs for the oil squirter's came in, so I took care of that. Tomorrow the bearings/etc should arrive.

I'll keep everyone posted, and try to do a "quasi-write-up" as I go along. What I'm doing and why. For anyone who has any questions, lmk.

 

What is the point of blocking the OEM oil squirter locations? Are you upgrading them?

 

^not needed for forged aftermarket pistons. when i had my old B series block built by Earl from benson he told me that he was going to block the oil squirters as they were not needed. better oil pressure too.

what was wrong with the other bearings? too loose/tight? hope you get her together soon!

wondering if i should tell my mechanic to block those off too

 

Depends on the power you are looking to make really. I figure it can't hurt, and they are only $20 bucks.

They aren't labeled for our motors yet, just pickup a set for b-series.

 

cant wait to see it man!

Personaly if I had to do it over again, I should have kept my 30r and maxed it out.

550whp on the street w/a meth kit would be killer imo.
