    Bearings

    Machine shop is highly recommended. Or you can just buy a Crank Kit from Oreilly's. It comes with the crankshaft & the correct size main bearings & rod bearings already.

    not good throttle response

    Idle at 2K RPMS, Oil smells like GAS

    Im running the car 95% with the 3" exhaust being said. NO smoke at all from anywhere. Only when i start the car, it comes out of the muffler well because its like 20 degrees Fahrenheit outside, but then when it gets to operating temperature it stops. ALL CARS AROUND HERE DO THAT. Thanks for the tip!

    Idle at 2K RPMS, Oil smells like GAS

    No, oil level is normal. Car doesn't burn any oil. & the compression is good. He told me last night that it could be all the engine degrease coming off since we completely degrease the block & cylinder head. Just went out & checked & the oil smells less of gas & is pretty dark so im going ahead...

    Idle at 2K RPMS, Oil smells like GAS

    All i know is that he set all the ring gaps facing away 90 degrees (something like that) from each other as AllData specifies & would a compression test help?
