GET IT RIGHT
When line boring and trying to figure out bearing clearance on an engine family that’s out of your norm, check your clearances before you start. Torque a bearing into a good bore and use the stock fasteners if you plan on aftermarket bolts or studs, so it won’t crush the bore smaller. Record the bore size and clearance so you’ll have an idea where to put the main bore size when line boring. Line honing is much easier as you can check as you’re coming to size.
