you want to use a .200 longer rod also.6.385..internal ballance as well

Well the Crank and Rods mad it in today. Here is a few shots

I hope this works and is not to big

in the past i have used Clevite Bearings.... what Kind do you guys recommend Mains and rods

The rear main seal on a reverse rotation engine is different than a normal seal. The grooves on the seal go the opposite direction.

Not the seal....The Bearings
