Engine balancing question.

Even better if you keep the crank STD/STD. Even if it is little undersize, you can still get .001 US bearings for mains and rods. I think Mike at FT sells .001 or can get them for the bearings you already bought. This allows you to mix and match STD with .001 bearings to get the exact clearances you want.

The mike and bore gauge are still needed to get the clearances right. Small investment for a big return IMO.

Ask questions and you will find the help you need. Good Luck with the rebuild.

I've already called one of the tool dealers, and he's bringing me a set on Thursday.

Maybe you should give Reids a call. If anything you could find out what they charge. It is a long ride down there but if they do the job right that will be worth the trip. BTW, they are open Saturdays in the winter according to their website.
