6 bolt 2.3 - Machine shop advice

[Infinity03]

Hello,

I am writing to get some help on what to tell the machine shop when i drop off my block and parts. Do i just give them the paperwork that came with the pistons? How do they know where to align the mains too?

Another question i have is about main bearings.... If i have it Align honed do i need over-sized main bearings at all? I see those are an option on extreme psi and i am unsure. I still have to order the bearings and girdle.

If i decide to take my used 4G64 Crank in.... what would i tell them so that its finished in spec?

My plan is to have the block hot tanked, bored, align honed, decked and powder coated. I want them to file the ring gaps and have it ready for assembly.

Parts list:

6 bolt block - 2.3 stroker
Eagle 100mm crank which is new or my used 4g64 crank
Wieseco HD stroker pistons with 21mm pin - new
Manley Turbo Tuff i beam rods -
Kiggly Girdle
L19 Studs
ARP mains


Thank you in advance for all of the help.

When you align hone the mains you shouldn't need bigger bearings. All there doing is torqing everything down then running a hone through to make it all even and smooth. Not taking .20 off
