Engine back from machining! What next!

The most important item everyone forgets is make sure you clean the protective coating off the bearings. They should shine. Not a dull silver. Forgetting this makes a shorter life of a good motor. Seen many with scoured bearings when tore back down for other reasons and checked. Working on top fuel cars this is a must. Oil in these cars lasts one round.. Then you throw the milk away.

I've never heard this....What would be the point of this if you're buying bearings with protective coating for those reasons....?


Also...fit the came and see how freely it spins...you might have to mess with the cam bearings to make it spin easier if the bearings are tight.
