Sr Bottom Ends?

[drift donkey]

I heard a rumor that if you touch an SR bottom end that it will never be right again. I have a built bottom end and I just spun a bearing. I was woundering if anyone else has had this problem or heard this rumor.

Any help would be great!

Depends on who worked on it/how much experience they have.

Some builders have hands like god... others have their hands in places they should have them during business hours :keke:

but yeah some more info would help.

Basically, after you scatter the shit out of bearings (grind them to a mesh), it is VERY difficult to clean all of the bearing back out of the engine.

You figure you might dump another 1-2k into hard pars, ballance, gaskets and assembly? Another 4-6-- for a good condition shortblock is worth it.
