408 stroker build

so all the caps stayed put, cool.
Most line hone for studs.

what was the main bearing part number you used?
Standard main bearing hit the radiuses on my ohio crank and I ended up with .002 end play, so I lathed them to get .006


I measured the end play and came up with .003-.0035, which is within the .002-.009 spec. I think it will be fine since it is above the .002 minimum and will only get larger when the engine breaks in.
