[QUOTE="elrodalexander73, post: 1103456, member: 16217"] What Idaho said!!! Document the people you talk to, and when you talked to them, and what your third party teardown inspection reveals. Fortunately for me I work for a large OEM with a complete machine shop in house so we have seen thousands of cranks over the years. Like I had stated before, a good builder with experience knows what will work and what "won't" work. A few years back I helped a guy out with a 6.0 Ford that a Ford Dealer in Detroit had worked on it and due to the sloppy work led to series of catastrophinc failures. If you need a copy of the report you can p.m me and I can get it it for you. I spent alot of time taking pictures, it held up so well that the service manager gave him all his money back and paid the rental fees settled outside of the courtroom. These days it is getting harder and harder to find people who "got it" and people who don't seem to exist everywhere. The patience it takes to build a really sound engine is hard, some of larger engines I've built where the bill goes up over $50,000 take tons of time, every little thing must be right. From the injectors down to the main bearing tolerances and even the geartrain lash. The service manuals released by the OEM's are usually spot on and will explain the engine very closely and if you follow specific instructions you will have a nice well put together engine. Even like Idaho said just simple plastiguaging of the bearings and checking ring gap before assembly can reveal a flawed machinist. It's a painfully boring and time consuming procedure to some but the end result is a beautifully running engine and that is what you are after.. [/QUOTE]
