Dumbo The Flying Elephant

Finely got the clearance almost like I wanted, you might have noticed I didn't say correct. Standard bearings were a little tight and used plus .001 were a little big. New plus .001 bearings are not to be found. Semi solution, a half and half mix of new and old bearings. With my new ball mic I was able to check shell thickness of old and new parts.

Now I will clean my was tank and install fresh solvent so not contaminate the engine with foreign materials. After cleaning the block I have to reinstall the cam bearings, passage plugs, and dowels.
