Good evening, I just received my block from the machineshop and measuring the main bearings to verify the oil clearance I find that at 12 I have 10 tho, at 10 I have 15 tho and at 9 I have 20 tho. The block went to the machineshop to oversize the pistons bore and to align the main caps because I'm going to use ARP main studs. The question is, is it too oval to use? I'm sure yes, but I wanted to check before talking to the workshop. The engine is an Isuzu 1.6 16V DOHC.
