If, anything can go wrong, it will, and it did.
Originally, I was going to do a rering, well when I tore the motor down to the cylinders, I couldn't stop there, so I split the case. Everything looked really good, so I sent the crank out to be polished, mains checked out ok, the rods, 1 came out at .0015" under the other 3, if it had just been a .001" under the other's, I would of let it go, so I had the rod journals cut .010" under.
The Cam and lifters, looked really good, So I am going back up on the valve spring pressure, so that means that strait cut gears, have to be used with the heavier springs.
Pistons, I swaped out, I switched the BME's for a set of CP's. The CP's piston and pin, were 122g lighter apiece than the BME.
The cylinders, with a light honeing, a very light honeing, cleaned up great, the guy who did the honeing, was surprised at how little honeing it took to clean them up, especially, after I told him the miles, that were on them.
Also, I had the top of the cylinders cut for sealing wire.
The bottom end went back together, everything was perfect, except for the end play, but it was only a .001 more than what it was previously, and well with in specs.

what's the stroke on that motor? how many miles did you get on it before this refresh? power output? compression?
i'm curious...
