Hahahahaha.... You guys are too much!!! Yeah, sorry about everything, not working on the Soup, not being more vocal about the body shop etc... I've been working 14-16 hour days and even on Sundays, I get tired of looking at the PC screen sometimes. All that plus trying to spend time with the...

I got the RC from ABC Hobby USA.

Umm, K... thx guys!

Do you guys think the crank and rods would expand enough (the thickness of a manila folder) to later start touching the block? Should the crank assembly be left alone or taken apart and the block shaven a bit to make more room?

That's one nice piece! What TPS would it use?

The only difference from stock is ARP rod bolts and the crank was redone and now uses .025 over bearings. If I were to use OEM rod bolts, there would be a lot more space. I have a spare block apart. I will compare the two and see if there are any differences.

Yeah, I don't think that's it. The diameter was within spec. Also, the crank was turned .025, so it needs over sized bearings. However the clearance is .025, a little bit tighter than OEM, but it was done to improve oil pressure. They way I see, there are three options: 1 - leave it like...

Nothing?

Clearance on the bearings is .025.

Would video help you guys have a more clear idea? Would you like to see the crank rotating? I really don't know what's happening.

Yeah, I've heard about the Pauter rods needing grinding at the bottom of the cylinder walls, but this never. BTW, everything is stock on this block, except for the ARP rod bolts. Any ideas as to how to give it a little more clearance without taking this all apart? I feel weary about grinding...

Properly installed. There is a side that has a shaved edge. I'm not sure whether it would be ok with that little space and obviously taking it all apart to shave the block would be the last option.

WUT? Nah... That cannot be!!!!! ARP rod bolts. They're a little beefier. I don't get why the other rods are fine except this one. The one where the rod bolt dug into the block deeper, I would guess has plenty of clearance now.

Hi all, I'm looking for some help from the Supramania master minds. It looks like before this rebuild, the rods were touching the block; perhaps after the bearings went? not sure. Currently, the rods are not touching at all when rotating, but one of them (first pic) does rub (rod bolt to...

I'm giving Dan some lead time...

Thanks for checking it out! LOL! I always enjoy your posts Crisp!

;) Thanks! Are you actually going to finish what I started or just take all the parts and put it back together?

What are you guys doing here? Get a life!!!! Actually, no updates. :biglaugh: We're having a baby soon (another girl - I have a 5 year old as well) and between getting ready for her, everyday life, and everything else I'm short on time and cash.
