Ohh she will be done by the end of the month
MAYBE but I wont be putting her in till the Spring. Bad weather comming on and the tracks closing for the seasion next week.
Ya hit a snag...so its on hold till I can figure out something...I was installing the pistons a few days ago, and had them all installed and had the last rod cap with the new preoiled breaing installed in it
in my hand, I was reaching for the ARP rod bolts and the cap slipped out of my hands, and fell on the engine stand and put two big dings/dents in the bearing. It
JUST had to hit the stand bearing side down.

Kinda like dropping a PB&J sandwich thats not closed yet. I was pissed when I saw the dammage.
I cant seem to locate a single standard Clevite bearing side...or even find somebody with a broken up set they would sell me a single bearing. (CB-1443 P) <-----is the part number.

Last resort...I guess i will have to buy an entire set just to use 1/2 of a bearing. Kinda a waste in my opinion. But thats what you get for goofing up.
I dont want to chance using it...as you all can understand, so replacement is the only way.
I emailed the Dana Corporation (They make Clevite bearings) and told them what happedned...for them to respond it told me up to a week. So...the project is put on hold till I can get me a bearing to install in my cap, and finish the bottom end of the engine, so I can move on. My goof, which I'm usually VERY careful when handling bearings...I messed up, and I'm man enough to admit it.

So, I will wait to hear from them...and then make make the next move what ever that will be.
Hope somebody takes care of me.
