You know, one of the definitions of insanity is repeating
the same action over and over again and expecting a
different result each time.


Just messin with you Carl - what's the expected result this
time around?

 

[Casey]

Oh yeah!!

Well I went as far as I could with the Roe setup so I sold the kit to a fellow UK member and have now gone with a CPE DIY Twin Turbo kit

Carl just a quick observation. In the first photo in your thread you show your block back from the machine shop with what appear to be bolts in the main saddles. Your next photo shows ARP studs. Did you not machine the mains with the ARP studs installed? Not sure if this procedure is different on the Dodge, but that would be a huge mistake on a Chevy. I'm not trying to be a smart @ss here, just really curious.

you're absolutely correct that it should be machined however it will be built. In the very least I would double check all the main clearances with the studs to be sure it didn't distort the caps.

I checked for bore ovality with both bolts and studs and could see no difference with a bore clock?

Hey Paolo!!!! I cant wait!!
