    I had a guy bring me a 347 that they did the machine work on, and assembled. He was complaining about having low oil pressure. I took it apart, and found several broken rings (from not being propperly gapped), a hand full of spiral locks in the oil pan, with 4 wrist pins sliding to one side scaring up the cylinder walls, and discovered his low oil pressure problem to be that they machined the main journals in the block too large. With a brand new bearing, there was almost .005 clearance on the mains. The crankshaft was within specs. To balance the engine, rather than drilling holes in the counter weights in the crankshaft, they cut large pieces out of them. So instead of the counter weights being a half moon shape, they looked like half octogons.

    Ball Engines in Lilburn can do it and so can Eagle Machine in Winder. If you haven't found anyone yet.
