I agree, I am going to call him tomorrow before I touch anything.

I did check the rods with dial calipers before giving them to engine builder, they definitely wasn’t .020 difference in length. The engine is a 71 out of a cuda I have had for 25 years. It was a standard bore, crank was standard on Rods and mains. It had a spun rod bearing. I informed him to...

Crank was ground undersized during this build so not a option now

Top was checked with a indicator, bottom was depth mic’ed with starret depth mic

It is going to be a fairly mild street engine not sure that’s a beater or not lol will have tf 240 heads and small ft cam

This definitely wasn’t a beater build

And yes it would have been nice to have been notified about the situation

Yes it was ground as part of the build thanks for your input

Guess I need to call him tomorrow not sure what he is going to say there really is no good way to fix it
