  • Look there are the main galley oiling holes that go up to the Camshaft. You should make an effort to check out these holes and see if you can see holes in the bearings once you install them. If not you just screwed up.

  • The other way is the thick main webs that the lower end has. Now once the General figured out how to work a computer they redesigned the block to save cast iron and screwed it all up. Go figure.

  • Bamm! Notice those nice custom machined pistons? Well I did not cut any corners. They are custom cut to ensure that they all come up to the same height as each other.
