My 422 smallblock build

Ok, I got the crank endplay up to .005”. I tried using the BFH to reset the caps but it didn’t change. So I removed the #3 bearing shells and used some 320 grit sandpaper on a nice flat surface and sanded one side of both shells and reinstalled. Another couple raps with the hammer and torqued all caps then measured.
I really debated about doing the pressurized oiling modification as mentioned above by Ramm, but ultimately I decided not to just because I didn’t want to get shavings all over a clean block. The next engine will get that mod though.
