Not quite the case.
It seems that chevy rod journals come in two flavors 2.000, which I used,
and 2.100, which is used on newer SB chevy's, and 383/400 chevy's.
If I had used the 2.100 flavor, I would only have had to remove .025
from the crank, which would have been just fine.
The problem there is with the larger rod big ends, you dont stand a chance
at all of fitting the rod big ends down the alpine bores during engine
assembly.
This woulndt have been an issue with my engine, because I installed the
rods to the pistons while the pistons were allready in the block, from the
crank side of the engine.
Anyone ever seen that done before?
