Like I've said, the "rod cap alignment tool" is a waste of time & money.

those 60*s are great lil motors, too bad the ex runners are so damn small... From what i hear the new 3.fo's are just as small :rolleyes:

:iagree:... ive seen some 9k+ used and abused cranks that were built w/o the alignment tool with no problems in between freshening... I have had a crank fail (disclaimer: on a carbed looper) and i dont think Phil has eitha :D

if theres any question about a rod caps alignment, i pull it and throw it away.

looks like lightning cases on the motors pictured in the end

having been on that assembly line they do not show a lot of what is done during the short block assembly.

I never thought much of the rod tool either until I started using it a lot, it makes assembly that much easier.
