did i notch too much??
Ok i started notching my girdle for my vitara/eagle d16 and to me it looks like i grinded a ---- load to make those rod bolts fit. Is this about normal to grind this much off?? Some parts are about paper thin?? O and btw: I notched my block and the rods dont hit. But ---- its a close *** fit from what i can see!! For somereason i picture at 8000rpms the rods hiting the cylinder walls?? Am i just paranoid or should i have a ceratain amount of clearance other then just "grind it till the rods dont hit".

Re: did i notch too much??
I didnt even toutch my girdle on my z6 with scatt rods, just hit up the bottoms of the cyl walls a little bit. Its not like you can just stick a new girdle on there either, I guess the only option you have at this point is to run it like that and cross you're fingers.

Bwahah
You must be related to the guy in my quote....at least you didnt grind off the end of the rods
Next time search for block notching and look and see what others have done before you pick up the grinder. Did you even mock up the rods to see what you needed for clearance??
