Would you guys send it or send it to the machine shop to be bored after honing the cylinders? My finger nails aren't catching on nothing. The bore is still stock 3.91 on all 8.

Put that camshaft in instead of the hydraulic roller .390? Would that work with the 318 LA 302 heads?

Piston numbers 4323311 are you guys able to find anything on them by any chance. Google search isn't being much of a help. I am hoping someone might have some info on these pistons.

Okay gentlemen after have put oil on I got better results. #1. 002 #2 .002 #3 .002 #4 .002 #5 .002

Both same number 318 LA crankshaft with brand new main bearings are giving me .003 on the plastigage. Is that correct spec or is not? The torque spec for the main cap bolts are 85 ft lbs correct?

The main bearings are brand new from Summit. I put in another same number 318 crankshaft that I have to see if I get .003 or a different number with this crankshaft to see I got something wrong.

The plastigage is telling me that I got a .003 does sound about right for the main/crank?

Yeah the neighbor was just telling me those are oil holes. My neighbor just got back from California, he got some machine tools that we can do from home to do all that the 87 block needs.

He sold it to me and couple new parts for it. $50 bucks.

This what it all looked like when I brought it home.

They been sitting in the desert dirt. When I picked it up. The guy told me it was sitting in the wide open for the rain and desert dirt to ruin them for whole year, the engine and everything sat for.

Here another piston with the same thing. If those 2 holes aren't a problem then I will clean them up and reuse them.

The 2 marked round the red.

If you can see it there 2 hole down below the side skirt?

I wish I could reuse the pistons, but there holes in each side wall on the pistons? What's the rpm range on the hydraulic roller cam if you might know?
