Thanks man! I thought about doing the head as well however it was not in the budget. Another thing that kept me from building the head was my power goals. I plan on 400whp boosted on E85 so a built head is not needed. And yes, I do plan on boosting

. I want your manifold for my build ha!

Thanks for the reply. Girdle is on correctly however clevite's standard size main bearings use a .15mm thicker thrust bearing which is retarded LOL. I have already sanded down the edges and it was able to turn a lot better.
I need to check end play and possibly sand more of the girdle side thrust bearing.
