I might hold you to that one day
Or, you could send your block here and let me bore/hone it.
Shipping would probably kill it.

Glad to hear you are not using ACL, its worth the wait to get OEM bearings.
I like to use NPR, they are made in japan and i think clevite gets their CA bearings from there also.
What did the Nissan bearings cost you?
Not much going on with the CD engines (yes i have four) yet, i had some setbacks and amongst other things i managed to drop my gearbox and a piece of the welded on flange broke off.
Might be getting the gearbox ready this weekend, i did it a little differently this time and i will make a thread on the two methods.
