Better to find out now rather than when the crank falls out at 6000rpm.

I'm assuming the mains were honed during the machine work, did the machinist not have those bolts in and torqued for the job?

That's an excellent point. How much does COME charge for a stroker bottom end again?

 

[Pub247]

According to you though chargedvx its not necessary I'd say if come done it they would have used ones they had themselves

lol im speaking just not a lot got a lot of stuff going on at the moment, ordering the last bits and pieces for the car.

well, i got a hold of the mains bolts and put them in, and......they went in 100% fine no problems so im 10000% happy lol. Everything is fine, no hassles whatsoever ill still question the engine builder though.....

 

[holden_4aw_lyfe]

Can confirm the above quoted by Michelson4301 is correct, same specs in the new Max Ellery manual.
