    Why does the big end of a connecting rod need to be polish smooth?

    I spun a rod bearing my Honda today. I opened it up and the bearing was still there. So the crank was untouched and most of the rod big end was untouched as well. Except for a small portion of the rod was raised up. Don't know if it was assembled like that or what. But I ground it down and...

    VE adjustments for new cams

    I may be getting my cams installed sometime soon. I know I will need to adjust VE at idle to keep trims inline. But what about the cells all around the idle cells?

    Just lookin for additional log advice

    Heres my log. Seems pretty flat in areas. What do you all think? Below 4k rpm if I punch it in 3rd the boost fluctuates like crazy so its only steady after 4k. Nearing 7k it creeps to about 18psi. Thanks.
