This morning I hauled all my parts to the machine shop , and I really
liked what I saw . Cluttered with motor parts , but neatly and
everything was well marked . They have all the right machines , from
valve guide reaming to crank grinding . I feel good about this .
So the block is going to be bored .030" over , the heads will be
disassembled , cleaned , and inspected , my approval for any additional
work . We'll be replacing the crank and both rods on that journal , he
didn't have one ready to go but knows he's got one there somewhere . He
recommended going with flat top pistons to maintain my C/R , seems the
manufacturers have raised the wrist pin location due to so many reman
places decking the blocks . He also wanted my cam specs to be sure there
wouldn't be any interference ...
