Hi, guys. I was assembling my engine today. the +4 hot rods crank hits the cases on both sides. It looks like the lower end of the rod has been machined but not enough to clear. Has anyone else ran into this. I could just notch the cases but I wanted to ask first.
Thanks. Derek .

Cases have to be relieved for the plus 4

if you have new bearings installed already youll want to be sure theyre well covered or youll have them full of metal chips

I only installed the crank in the left case, i'll mark it and press the crank out again.
thanks.
