I have a complete set, As I'm not buying and selling parts anymore, I would like to get rid of the last few parts I have. I would take $25 plus shipping for the set. I live a long ways from you,Nor Cal, shipping may cost? 442Harv

Too bad you can't find it. Your gonna need to align hone that block and caps now

No big deal. Will make for a better outcome main bearing wear wise anyway.

When you have it line bored, it will bring the crankshaft a tiny bit closer to the camshaft, which results in excessive "slop" in the timing chain. You'll need to get a timing chain that will be a little tighter. They sell them based on the amount that was removed from the main bearing webs in the block.

Can you accurately determine how much was removed from the webs? What increments do they sell the timing chains in?

I don't recall the specific amounts; you could check with the manufacturers.

I'm going to ship it. He is sending me the money, and will ship when I get the money and his address.
