Speaking of this, what is this group's thoughts on align honing the main bearing bores if one switches from bolts to studs? I've heard everything from not necessary to absolutely necessary. On my engine I had the bores align honed and then decided to switch to studs. Everything still measured the same and the crankshaft turned fine so after a conversation with my machinist we both felt it was fine to proceed with the build.
Thanks,
Chance
