well i guess i owe sparky a dollar... i did use a stock pan, unfortunatly. The rods are stock 3/8. So, do you how much it should cost to get the block align-honed? All the the journals on the block are good except one... its the second journal from the front of the motor. I was using a high volume pump. Also, i had the crank checked out at my machine shop, the mains were already ground .20 and the rods were .30. Is this worth saving?
