Guys, the mains are 2.479, so it looks like a 24 stud application with .020" under mains.
So, am I correct as to rod bearings? It needs floaters at crank standard and whatever the rods come out to be. Will these floaters be flanged bearings?

Back to mains for a moment. Are 21 stud mains the same width as 24 stud mains?

I think that's it. Cant think of any other questions to ask. Anything else relavant?

I happen to have a set of .125" over Merc pistons I'm considering using as slight pop ups with this crank.

More comments please and thank you.
