Few small updates, got the project going again.....

#1 gave up on trying to get made or find custom oil sprayers. Especially from finding out that they have a spring in them to open and close based on pressure. P.s. they don't open on idle. I found some bolts that had threads of m12x1. Using that to plug up the oil sprayer holes and a drop of red loctite to seal it.
Plug is : https://www.racetronix.biz/p/metric-...k/fit-plgm1210

Will notch the rods at 12 o'clock on both sides of the rods so it will fling some oil up towards the neck of the rod where the piston is.

#2 still fooling around with the main bearings. After going back and forth about the color chart for bearings it finally seems that the old bearing chart of yellow green and violet offered 3 standard sizes. The new color chart simply offers more colors which is more in between sizes. So you can dial in your clearances better.
