Love the video’s! Do You have any video’s coming showing specs like rod journal specs.. and how to use a dail bore gauge right?

The way I do it is foolproof. I put a big C clamp on the front weight of the crank and front of block with the rear cap snugged down like you said loose but tight. The clamp pulls the crank all the way forward. Then I tap the rear cap backwards with a pin and a few hammer taps and then torque it. That way I know the thrust is aligned perfectly
