Hope you running the right bearing clearances for a H/V pump and not the factory recommended clearances, there could be problems later on if you are.

I had help puttin engine together and i do remember my friend saying that my engine was tight clearances. What are you guys thinkin? I think my engine performs beautiful... what do i look for?
