Engine Assembly Questions - Thanks to All

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all of the great responses.  When I started this I was
mainly thinking about lubricants however I soon found the most
important part was the use of Plastigage to check rods and mains.
Here is an article I found that is a good discussion about bearings
and clearances from Mopar Muscle Magazine.

Thanks Again
