    400-450HP Engine rebuild questions/opinions?

    Hal: Correct even after it's been sanded/polished there are still micro grooves/marks in the surface and you want these along the rod NOT across it. If they're across the rod think of the dotted lines in toilet paper and this is how the rod will behave :(

    Problems to get a MHG

    Better question is do you have a machine shop capable of surfacing the block and head correctly for the Stopper as they're VERY unforgiving of finish.

    7mge crank in 7mgte?

    Rich: I'd have the block checked for straightness in the tunnels first then line bore if needed. Too many things can go wrong during the procedure to do it if it isn't required.
