hey Jazzadub, ive got ACL race series bearings main and conrod bearings, the clearences have been checked by the machine shop and i brought the bearings to suit, je pistons and rings, everything has been purchased after all the checks were done, the machine shop had 2 assemblers but one is backed up for 7+ weeks and also said at times he has to put his over seas customers work first but he will try help me out. other isnt picking his cell phone up, so im just seeing if there is any one that they highly recomend, ive only heard the best of things about rips and he is definetly an option, everything has already been sent for balancing... thanks for your imput ill shoot rips an email and see what he has to say... the engine cost me 17k all up and i searched boost and some other forums and every one has something bad to say but not really anything nice to say so its made me really paranoid haha
