When you start multiple threads for the same thing; all it does is annoy people and lower the chances of anyone taking the time to answer.

X2 on this.... Did you ask when the last time I did this was, nope....


Buy a forged rod block then sell yours when you're done... Less down time and it'll only cost you the price of the new forged block that you can make up when you sell your pmr block.

It takes a total engine teardown. If you go that far, you might as well have it balanced. I'm not sure why you want to do this unless you are building an all out competition truck. Even then you'll be out gunned by the newer trucks.
