Hi Gearhead999

Thank you so much for you impute.
In ans. to your question about if my crankshaft is new. NO its not.
However, I had to taken down 0.030ths. and Balanced. If that helps to clear-up anything for you to help me.

I'm printing out all you suggestions and experiences to help me when I'm ready to install the cam and the crankshaft.

First things first: THE CAMSHAFT.
Here's what I entend to do ~ (that's after you check me out on doing it ) The student has to follow the teachers suggestions

HERE I GO:
I will install the camshaft DRY first to see if it fits properly. If it does I will LUBE the heck out of it and then install it.

If it doesn't fit and there is some knick in the NEW BEARINGS, I'm told it's o.k. TO TAKE THE KNICK OUT VERY CAREFULLY WITH A RAZOR BLADE ! YES/NO
If all goes well I'm lock the camshaft in with that small two bolt plate in front to lock it in ( don't know the name of that plate ?)

Anyway I'll wait to see what other directions you have for me.

THANKS AGAIN GREAR...999

GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THE GUYS WHO ARE HELPING ME THRU THE MAZE OF ENGINE BUILDING ~ what a learning experience this is.
