I've been just about ready to start assembling a 2.7L long block for what seems like months and was thinking about this thread which discusses beveling the backside of the oil supply holes on the main bearings. For a novice like myself, this seems like a generously shared, great tip that's not covered in any of the typically available and utilized resources.

I'd love to learn about other little tips like this that some of the more experienced builders have picked up over the years. I understand that a lot of this knowledge is hard-won and proprietary and guarded, but any little extra bit that advances reliability or performance I'm sure would benefit more than a few future rebuilds.
I'm sure there are a few folks that post here that could write a book... that I would buy!
Thanks,
Tom
