    Nothing new to report only that the old crank is on it's way back for the core deposit.

    Quite nice of Jan to waive the core charge trusting that I would have it sent back quickly.

    Thanks for handling that so swiftly Chad.

    Rebuild

    I didn't get any reports of protest when the "Old Crank" was boxed up.

    About to get bored....

    [​IMG]

    To recap, the runout on the cylinders is about 0.0030 or 30 thousandths. The cylinders will be bored over 0.0020 and new "20 over" CP Pistons will be fitted.

    Red may be faster, but black will not show the oil drips all engines develop over time. I painted my MG engine black to match the oil..... :D

    I like the steel grey choice, I think it will look cool. especially with the aluminum bits that go on it.
