1) While mocking my block to check clearance I notice the rods connected to the crank and torque to specs (63lbs), can slide side to side with very easly with the hand. I'm using the Eagle ESP 6" rods in my SBC 400. Is this normal for rods that are floating rods?
2) I have rods that are real close to the bottom of the cylinder and will need to be clearance.
Is it better to grind on the cylinder or the rods?
3) Just Curious here:
Do most people disassemble all the parts then grind or grind while the parts are still in the block. I would think you take a chance of nicking or hitting something with the grinder and cause more harm than the reassembling and disassembling.again and again.
This is my 1st time doing a stroker motor with such long rods and stroke, so bear with me because I willl be asking a lot of probably dumb/stupid questions...
