Pistons found in the block were forged. They will be reused. |

Rods were stock units. We wanted to
use Eagle Forged "H" beam rods buth they are on national back order
until the end of January. We settled for Forged "I" beam rods. They
were ordered, did show up, called the vendor, they say they were
never ordered. They have been ordered now for a second time. |

After much encouragement I ordered
forged rods. It turns out that the rod bearings were too small for
the forged rods. They would have been too small for the cast rods
that were in the engine also. The bearings that were in the engine
were Federal-Mogul and replacement bearings were also federal-Mogul.
So what do we do? We shorten the rod end, bolt the rod caps back on
and then bore and hone the new hole to the correct size.
