For anyone who cares, what I do is cut the felt up into 1=E2=80=9D =
pieces, coat them with Right Stuff and pack as many as I can into each =
side. If done right you can see squeeze out of gasket maker on the =
sides=E2=80=A6. They have all held very well and I have done a lot of =
them using this method. You will need additional felt!

I also have the center plug hole on the main oil galley tapped to =

Have the shop check the alignment of the mains and line hone if =
necessary.
Machine the center main cap to install a reinforcing strap.

Remove and tap the front and rear main oil galley plugs for flush-fit =

Remove the crank scroll and install a rear main seal conversion. Do not =

block, particularly in the cooling areas.=20
If needed, clean up the mating surfaces for the liner gaskets.=20

Hello All,
I disassembled my TR4 race car engine this past week. Last time I =

years! It is amazing everything looks very good. Rod and Main bearings =

followers including head and valves all look good. Cam bearings look =
questionable...
=20
So I plan on installing new cam bearings, Rods & Mains. Any suggestions =
as to what brand and where to buy them?
I will deck the block. Any suggestions as to other machining I should do =
to the block?=20
=20
The crank looks fine but I haven't measured it yet. What clearances =
should I run?
I do plan on balancing and polishing it.
=20
Thanks for any input.
