Message	Endplay spot on about 0.003 Has anyone seen corrosion like this on the water pipes? It occurred under the hoses from the outside in. And it pitted all the way through the pipe. It has to be some kind of chemical reaction. All pistons are installed and the rod side clearances are perfect. Approx .203mm Oh, and nothing done to the crank, modification or machining wise. Also the entire bottom end is stock, except for the ARP main and rod studs. After I honed the cylinders, I check the ring gaps and they were spot on as well. No adjustments needed on the OEM rings. Used a flex hone with a torque plate, main girdle, and a head all torqued to spec.
