Okay, shop says that no bore was needed on the block, so no bore it is, which pretty much rules out forged pistons, it seems. (Apparently I screwed up my measurements.)
Crank came back as having been cut before, and was what the shop considers to be on the bare margin of okay, but they do say it should be fine.
Mains are .020 (.5mm) under, and the throws are .030 (.75mm) under. Shop says they're fine. Talked to Aaron at Driftmotion about bearings for this, and he says that he'd bin the crank and find another. Thoughts and opinions? (I've never been one to take just one person's word on anything, so I figured that it doesn't hurt to ask. Of course I'm not eager to spend time and money on another crank if this one would be okay, but I do want to know that this will handle 400+ HP without having to open it up and replace the crank this winter.)
So the current plan for pistons is to clean up the ones that came out, pop out the wrist pins and inspect for re-use with new rings. I guess that makes the internals all stock, but for my power goals, this shouldn't be the limitation. (Would have taken that standard set of Probes, but already sold.
) Well, until I'm ordering bearings I'll keep my options open. The Wiseco pistons are still a possibility.
Looks like no possibility of getting this on the road by month's end. Hopefully I'll get some seat time this summer.
