    In Frame = get it back on the road asap

    Out of Frame = build it better than new

    That's what it is but it is also done for a used head.

    BUT I am guessing Midnight just was looking for general info.

    If the block is out of the truck you can check bearing clearance and crank end play more accurately for each bearing. On a inframe thats pratically impossible. Why roll the dice on bearing clearance

    Is that brand spanking new? Or just someone else’s core they rebuilt?
