an old trick to gain lubrication in the mains is to buy 2 sets of bearings and use the two halves that have the oiling groove. Less wear on the mains that way and they hold a bit more oil for those dry hard starts.

Had a gander. Looks GREAT! Considering that .120-.090 is considered "acceptable", you are in excellent shape.

We did use KB hypers in a 360 drag engine and they worked well with a set of the modded up old J heads. You are going to love this engine.
how does 10.5 run on pump gas?
