I also have the center plug hole on the main oil galley tapped to =

Machine the center main cap to install a reinforcing strap.

Hello All,
I disassembled my TR4 race car engine this past week. Last time I =

years! It is amazing everything looks very good. Rod and Main bearings =

followers including head and valves all look good. Cam bearings look =
questionable...
=20
So I plan on installing new cam bearings, Rods & Mains. Any suggestions =
as to what brand and where to buy them?
I will deck the block. Any suggestions as to other machining I should do =
to the block?=20

The crank looks fine but I haven't measured it yet. What clearances =
should I run?
I do plan on balancing and polishing it.
=20
Thanks for any input.
