thanks

 

combine your questions in the other thread that is asking the exact same thing. it all depends on the guy who assembling it.

 

hows the guy who assembles it make a difference? there only one way to put together an engine the right way i think>??
im building my first engine>>>>>>>>>>> >??????????????????

 

sometimes this site gives me a headache

 

well ya there is the right way and the wrong way, but there are also sub categories like, what parts, torque specs, fasteners, compression, gaskets, balancing rods, and many many more

 

basicallytriple check everything use extra lube triple check all tolerances make sure you use a reputable machine shop, if possible go with a setup thats been tried and proven, use common sense and for gods sake, do not build the engine get it back together then fire it up and forget to put oil in it, heard of it happening to a man at a local speed shop, don't know if its true or not but i wouldn't want to find out.

 

oh yeah I almost forgot, port matching is your friend, its the little things that count

 

Why would a 408 out last a 393 ?
