Dan,
When I rebuilt my 1500 Spitfire engine, I decided to have the machine shop
assemble the bottom end for me. I was not sure that I was going to be able
to accurately verify the bearing clearances, so I figured the $100 or so
cost was a good investment. I did the rest of the assembly, which was easy
with the assistance of an experienced club member.

Subject: [Shop-talk] engine rebuild
I am thinking of attempting my first engine rebuild. Although I've never
rebuilt an engine , I am fairly mechanical. Can anyone describe the steps I
need to follow. Especially, what I can do and what should be done by an
expert. I've been told the crankshaft has a crack in it and I'll need a new
one. The car is an antique MG. Thanks for your help.
Dan
