Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
It looks like a truing sleeve for the pin mandrel only bigger ID and longer made out of honed tubing. I like the oil holes 120* apart, drill the holes so they line up with oil feed holes on the machine. You will see the ware pattern on the shoes start to "come in"

Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
Larry, Do you have this type of equipment at your place? I know you do a lot of your own work.

Yes I have owned a Diesel machine shop. Built toy airplane engines with Harry Paul Tune and burnt Drums of nitro every toy airplane season. If we wanted to go fast with the toy airplanes, we would use laboratory grade nitro, its clear without yellow die.

Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
I got some parts for Christmas, so I plan on getting the short block together next week. I mounted my pistons up, and drilled the crank snout for the balancer bolt, a friend of mine faced the crankshaft flange for me. I balanced the assembly today, it needed 4 grams on the front and 9 grams on the rear, both on the crank pin side. My Dad will hone the block for me and I can start assembly.

Re: 302 Chevrolet Engine Build
I got the short block assembled, took a while to get the bearing clearance set. I was looking for .0025 on the mains, and the number 2 main was coming in at .0023, I was able to sand the back of bearing, really just cleaned it up and got the .0025 I was looking for, the rest went together good with no problems, I had .0022 on the rods. The picture of the main bearings # 2 sanded, the number 1 as produced. Now the work will start, the heads are next, thats going to take some time.
