What do you make of that last set of photos Ian? It's definitely better than the first crank but I'm still a bit worried about the fact that the keyway is distorted.
It looks as though the channel is basically intact so if there's a decent key to fit in it and everything is torqued up correctly, would you think it'd hold up OK?

I'd try the rear Key in the front slot and see if it wobbles.
(a little deeper down it looks fine and with the Crank bolt at 197 ft/lbs the Key is doing very little)

Ok, guys I'll mess with it when I get home today.
I get that the keyway is the important part.
I was just showing the keys to give an idea of how much indentation the crank has, the crank pics don't always seem to help enough. How much wobble is ok? I assuming as little as possible, but barely any movement should be ok right?
Ninja edit: Hey, I was reading somewhere if the stock cross hatch is pretty much gone, Allan already mentioned it, it's reccomended that the cylinders be bored. Is that really necessary? The machine shop I'm going to use is pretty good, should I just wait and see what he thinks or just go .010 or .020 over? I'm leaning towards waiting and seeing what he thinks.

JaV: Our blocks are very hard Cast Iron so you can be 100% sure if the crosshatch is gone the cylinders aren't round or straight anymore!
Well I'm gonna take a hint and guess that means over bore. :aigo:
Well I think I have a hookup on that but it still sucks. I'll have to see if I can find another block first but I'm not sure on that one.
Hey should CEP pistons be ok? Because that's what my friend can get me. Also .20 or .10 which is better?
Thanks IJ

Well I think I'm just gonna try them out and see what happens. Hopefully good results since I'm not going power crazy. I guess I'll review them also once I get a chance. Now I need a new MHG too. :1zhelp:
Well I'm gonna drop the n/a in first then I'll continue with this.

Well almost finished hooking up the n/a to the R154.
My dumb ass couldn't get the flywheel bolts lined up at first. :nono:
Gotta go to the store grab some brake kleen and spray off the grease I got on their before I connect it and hook it up.
It'll be my first time doing this by myself. I feel like such a big boy.

No someone needs a f-ing n/a throttle cable.
Gotta get and engine stand this weekend when I get paid then I'm gonna finish ripping apart the block, and go get the block inspected.

Almost completely done with the n/a conversion. Been kinda lazy since I need that cable but should be pretty much ready to go tomorrow.
