I appreciate it :patriot: I will definitely keep you guys posted on the build. Dan, I payed absolutely nothing for the honing. I honed the engine by myself. The only thing that I couldn't do is grind the crank. It is currently .010 under on both rod and main bearings. [/qb][/QUOTE]Oh sweet must work at a machine shop or have a homie or do it at school, either way I LOVE these budget builds and they always run so hard [/qb][/QUOTE]You you nailed it on the button lol. I'm building it at school. I found it to be really simple once I got into it. All you need to know is how to read a micrometer, caliper, and use your own two hands. Only thing I've been instructed on is how to hone the engine and what rythem I should have when honing. Other than that, piece of cake. One question Dan. I'm gapping the rings for nitrous/boost. The gap is supposed to be .004 for every 1" of bore correct? [/qb][/QUOTE]That's old thinkin and thatd be for all motor stock style app. Depends on rings but once u build a few and see the results you will find a good fit. I like 24 on a top ring and 28 on a bottom ring and I go .004 rule on the oil ring Every ring is different and there are tons of tips and tricks. Gapless rings still get gapped so I think folks confuse that a lot. This is only what I do and not in stone and I'm not john kaase or duttweiler, jus what I've come up with goin on 80 motors now...... A few boosted motors I've built make over 700 at the wheels some of them members on here so its workin pretty well I also have my own hone technique but pm me if u wanna go technical [/QB][/QUOTE]
