AMG block build specifications?
Anyone know where you can find the AMG detailed block build up / assembly specifications? Bearing tolerances, etc. etc?
My STAR CD just does not seem to go into those details.

Not a good question, hope all is ok. FYI pistons are available separately now.

Why is there so much animosity towards Corvettes around here? Is it engine envy?

I have a Technical Data Manual(a rediculiously overpriced book), PM me what info you need, I can get it to you. I do need your engine number though to get the correct info. I can get the number by your vin if you don't know it.

Whatcha up to? Sounds interesting... Someone has to have these specs in a service manual or something? If your going to rev the **** out of the motor I would loosen up the tolerances a tad.
I would not run any less then .0015 thousands of an inch oil clearance for the rod bearings and .002 - .0022 thousands of an inch oil clearance for the main bearings.

It seems a custom large litre motor can cost less than messing with mostly factory MB parts..
At that point, I guess factory specs would be pretty much obsolete..

Haha, not quite... The engine builders and machinists I've come across state side use inches for all types of engine bearing clearances. I still use MM frequently though, say measuring a throttle body or cylinder bore. But, for really small stuff reading in thousands of an inch is easier and seems more precise.
