so I finally got around to notching my block for my rods. I had an extra block laying aroudn so I practiced on that. I didn't think it was too hard. and I will prob. go and finish my spare block "just incase"

I used a crank I had with a spun bearing to put the rods on to check clearance. (that way I wouldn't have to mess with the micropolished one. everythign seemed to rotate ok, so I guess there is enough clearance.

I just want to get some opinions if there was anything I should do to the notches before I take it ot get honed. I went and rounded all the edges with sandpaper… so let me know what you think.

 

well.....i havent posted many posts on here.....but from what i can tell in comparison to other pics of notched blocks..your notches look a tad bit too small.....i may be wrong though......just my 2 cents....anyone else?

 

well I was kinda thinking it was too small. but I mean if it spins it spins right? I had clearance with my spare crank/rod/piston set up.

 

well then you are all good. they really dont need to be all that big

 

mine look like that as long as it doesnt hit you are good to go
