Engine decking issue(help)
So i got the block from machine shop, i can verify that it did appear to be a little out of square in the machine that he had it in so i told him to square it up, i took it home and after a mock up it appears im 1 or 2 thousandths out of the hole but i will have to check once my bridge dial comes in as i needed to buy one. As i was mocking up the block i also wanted to check main bearing clearances with plastiguage as that is all that is available to me. Im a little concered with what readings i was getting. This is the 3.58 crank from scat and i did have it line honed with the studs. These are all the readings i am getting and i did use a dab of petroleum jelly to keep it in place.
