That is INSANE!!! 5 million + lb.ft. of torque!!! I especially like the pics of the guys standing on the main webbing. They look like little GI Joe action figures or something. The completed engine is very impressive looking.

I was wondering how much it would be to do a bearing change. Let alone how long it would take to bore it .030 over.

I don't think you mean .030 over it would be more like 3.00 over

nah that is over kill. .030 is plenty to worry about. With the amount of explosive force in the cylinder you would be nuts to bore it 3.00 over. But then again we don't know the overhual specs.

I'm guessing if it broke a ring you would do more than .030 worth of damage. where would you get an overhaul manual for it I'd bet not at auto zone
