#5 main cap & bearing....no fretting...2 bolt cap with bolts.

damn KY you've put on some weight ....... damn chipmunk in the house

That's not copper...at the bearing....gotta be some kind of 'magic' that green oil leaves. The tint came right off after very little rubbing with scotchbrite.

nitro leftovers

Maybe ...I can't say for sure. I will say that the bearings look great and I'd reuse them after 3 years service ....rods and mains. I.m.o. this speaks well of the billet crank, billet rods and A460 block.

Seems to be the case

Here are some pics of the rod bearings Ms mustang took. I have to give Lem and bass boat Bob a pat on the back for the "ideal" bearing clearances and balance job . This engine has had its tail ran off for the last 3 years and the bottom end looks great in my opinion.

when you run a "man" sized tire you gota have plenty of ballast

Thanks for the insider's peek. Nice lookin' parts.

Sure couldn't expect it to look any better!

Quality parts + good clearances + clean assembly + careful operation = successful race engine!
Nice work!
