Cleaning and polishing bits and pieces here and there.

Tasca finally got back to me with this:

Petri,
To do a complete engine you will need the following parts and quantities:

30731538 'big-end bearing' QTY 5 $29.43/EA
271907 'piston ring kit' QTY 5 $42.38/EA
30731542 'main bearing' QTY 6 $99.11/EA
31251597 'bearing kit' QTY 2 $18.10/EA
31251598 'bearing kit' QTY 2 $18.10/EA

Now I see you purchased some of these, but do you need enough to do a complete engine?


I thought the main bearing kit included all of them to color match the block...someone want to elaborate?

You have to figured out the main bearings as you can have a combo of anything. Mark (ozimark) put a breakdown of the color code/lettering somewhere on here but it is also in your haynes manual.

I did the same years ago when I built mine. It's buried somewhere in the ancient abyss of yesteryear threads here in performance.
