Response to engine build questions, round 3

Use a dial bore guage to check lifter clearance, that will determine what you need to do. Visualy inspect the crank, that is what the machine shop will do. Break the edge with a grinder at the bottom of your cylinders to keep them from scraping the piston skirts if the machine shop didn't do this. Be very careful to not let the grinder slip and hit the cylinder bore. Final job is pressure wash the block paying lots of attention to the oil gallerys. Wipe and oil the cylinders after the wash job. Before assembly wipe the cylinders with a clean white paper towel with brake clean until towel remains white. I also suggest a trail fit of everything before the gaskets/sealer goes on, its amazing what strange things pop up, RWJ
