So? You went thru the expense of buying the best parts. And those parts cause a ripple effect that the right machining will fix. You could be building a Honda, or a stock 1bbl225/ and the fact remains. You would have been better served by re-using the old bolts. If it's a stock rebuild, I would have done that. Just me tho...

Yep! But I have my reasons. Bolt stretch is more likely than crushing 3" of solid cast steel more than before in this case.... Maybe I should move a couple of caps around to get the results you want to hear about. :lol:
