There are a few people that will disagee with what I said.
i was not was going to tell him but was waiting for tech the only thing i would add is that the rods could be off that far if stockers with a recon and the block center line could be off to one side more and crank indexs all adds up. so a new machine block could be off .004 easly if not tru deck like BHJ thru cam and main center line .with the rod/crank pistons to you would get stack on that could throw you off. i think .004 you would be doing good on all new stuff. it would nice to see less .so like erik said that would be good .004 but if not how much would you spend to get it better than .004 or there ??what i am trying to say is how much is this worth to you they can be way off and still work making it this good with some parts could be $$$tough
