I would just like to say thank you very much for this post i followed your steps i used 2 pins under half an inch in lenth 3/16 diameter and pined my crank i got the pins for a cup of coffee the guy at the machine shop said i cant charge you for a 3/16 pin and he even tappered the pin just a touch then he told me to use a drill bit one size smaller then use the 3/16 so i did one at a time and put a touch of high heat gasket maker on the tip of pin tapped it in and went on to the next one finished that put some lock tight on threads and some high temp on the bottom of bolt head tightened it to 37lb then i used a snap on twrench and tq it to 240. i did not use the chauk line because my motor is on a stand and i locked the flywheel. well i lied a bit im only 135 pounds i only got it to 230 and my buddy who is over 200lbs tq it the rest of the way because i had nowhere to put my feet to pull. i blew my first engine a 5.3 kb supercharged 9lbs and now i putting in a 6.0 and i am doing everything possible not to blow another eg. rod bolts crank pinning, oil pump double timing chain for acurate timing valve springs push rods and a good tune. thanks again im driving a tahoe ss Clone. because they never made a real one, just a concept.
