You are going to do whatever you want tho so get to work and let us know how it goes.

And if you have shavings coming from anything to do with rings then the cylinder walls are absolutely destroyed along with piston skirts.
I would be looking at that lpop real hard along with cam bearings,lifters, Crank bearings etc. Thers a lot of possibilities here for failure.
Definitely agree

I can't keep up with you Mike, LOL!!


You going to eat the core charge? I would think shipping the core would be really expensive.

If you look at their other motors, they have a couple desired performance options. I don't work there so I don't know but you could call. I have dealt with them before and they are pretty good to talk to.
