Rod bearing size

wow, jb weld on the block deck...scary! decking a block at a reputable machine shop should only be about 35 bux. ill have to check my reciept.

and turning cranks, about the same, at least polishing. which would be what theyd do, then you still use standard bearings, and u have a new surface to break in on.

do it right, or dont do it at all. theres not really a way to save money when doing an engine. if you assemble it all yourself and are careful, then you can prolly have all the machining done for under 400 (i did, and i spent 360 for machining, then 110 on pistons, rings , rod and main bearings, and 150 on gasket kit). im also buying a MHG, but thats me. so for about 500 bux, you can rebuild a motor with all new bearings and rings, if you dont bore/hone, figure 650 if you do.
