Ok Engine Building Experts/ 350 Chevy
I need to ask some of our engine experts their opinion on this one.
As you know I am rebuilding the 99 Chevy 350 for my T. I took my standard, never been turned crank to the machine shop for polishing, and ordered a standard rering kit from Summit. Got the parts.
Today the machine shop calls and says the crank is ready, and by the way, it is under .001. He says it is common for Chevy to use these in brand new motors. He says I probably should order both rod and mains in under .001 size, but that I could get by with standards as it is only .001 (do I have enough zeros in there?......never could keep that straight) I mean it is under one thousandths, not ten thousandths.
Or should I just bite the bullet and order the exact sized bearings?

Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
