Need some quick info/assistance..
Im looking to get my DE block machined for GTiR main bearings to take advantage of the better design and 360 degrees of oiling.
My main question is what EXACTLY is to get machined??? The DE block has a groove on the main journal and no grooves on the main caps... so do they just machine a groove on the main caps?? or do they machine the bearings themselves, or what??? I read Kojima's article in Turbo Mag and it just confused me because it kept referring to the rod bearings being machined.... figured it was just a typo, because the rod bearings should fit right on (im runnin GTiR rods anyway-so thats not an issue).
In other words can someone (there are several people who have done it) give me some insight.. possibly some literature to the process of machining the block for GTiR main bearings. Thanks!!
