I used Feds a few builds back and they were fine.

<JK> Don't feel bad we've all done it! (You've popped your 7M "I'm a dumbfuck" cherry)

Greg: Ummm Rod bearings DON'T have the grooves..... Mains do and the TRD bearings are fully grooved.

FFIM's keep the cold charge out of the IC away from the Hot side of the motor.... ;) (added a "D" to the title)

Vids and a dyno sheet ;)

Pat: Dunno I don't have any experience with them sorry.

Grab a straight edge and lay it across the deck/cover and see if you can see light under it. :( Better to catch it now than in 2 weeks after it's done when it leaks and you have to redo the entire motor.

Pat: Anywhere you'd buy Clevites :) (PM Suprarich) I've tested them to 550rwhp no probs at all here.

Is the head on yet?

Ted: Can't see how the cover can be lower unless you used one off another motor that had already been decked more than your block?

If you have a shop handy you can get them to mill the cover so it's the same height..... If the Block and Cover weren't decked at the same time the Cover will be higher and hold the head off the deck causing a leak. But are they facing the correct way? ;)

Pat: Been having good results with NDC bearings :) (That's what Clevite put in their boxes these days)

Ted: The HG WILL leak :( Also did you get the rods on the pistons facing the correct way?

Dave: Thanks I've been wrong many times but I'm happy to have someone prove it that way I get educated and move on and NOT spread misinformation :) When people are in a topic specific section they need to be 100% certain that their advice is correct, this goes as much for a stock build as it...

Pimp: It's just filling the block so it's solid to just below the deck surface so water can still circulate around the head passages and yep it's an old Race car trick hardly applicable for a road car....

Wow cya! (Yes I do KNOW it won't work) My attitude might be "disgusting" as you put it but at least I'm not spewing shit about something I have NFI about trying to make it sound like I do.

Again you're making assumptions based on little to no knowledge...... Check the bore spacing on a 7M block then tell me if there's room to fit even thinwall sleeves without destroying any torsional strength the block may have. The danger here is you sound like you know what you're talking...

Have you even worked on a 7M? I'm not being a smartarse but unless "WOT" means "Waste OF Time" you have NFI what you're talking about.... You can post roll eyes smilies till your head explodes but by the time you actually bore a 7M block to accept even thin wall sleeves you'll have broken...

So you're going to sleeve a siamese block to make it stronger.... yeah right ok whatever you say.... :nono: Did you read all this somewhere and thought it would make you sound as if you have a clue?

Street driven ie: you drive it push the fast pedal it makes 1000rwhp not "hey I gotta go get race gas/slicks/uncap the exhaust/crank the boost/swap to the race settings in the ecu then it makes 1000rwhp"
