One thing I found is that the dowls in the blocks aren't worth a crap
and let the mains walk all over the place, So I started making my own.
Went to the hardware store and bought some 1/4 inch round stock and
cut them 1 inch long and replace all factory dowls. I was getting cap walk
on all my performance motors, since I've done that I don't get any cap
walk at all, no more fretting. The fit is tight and makes for a little more
work to get them off but it seams to of stregnten the lower end up
trementliessly. I use studs and factory bolts.
I don't line hone for this app either, Been doing this for a long time
and no problems at all, bearings seam to look better between
teardowns.these are all two bolt main motors.
Sorry about some of the bad spelling LOL
