"How does a machine shop align the case when the #8 is removed for boring the mains?" Not sure how a machine shop does it or if a 3.0 is much different than my 3.6, but. While the case is on the bench and torqued just enough so I can still adjust each half, I measure on the diagonal across the parting line, adjusting the case halves until each of the #1 & 8 bores are equal or at least within a 1/2 thou. I then put it in the stand, torque to spec, then remove it from the stand to have unemcumbered access from both ends and I'm able to reach each saddle with a standard length guage.
Hope this helps
