OK after about 2 months at the machine shop, I finally got my bottom end back.

Case line bored, galley plugs tapped and plugged, decked.

crank, balanced and polished

Pressure plate balanced

Flywheel, balanced and lightened to ~13#s

Mahle cylinders bored and honed to 96mm

KB flat top pistons matched to cylinders and rebalanced

Rods, balanced, check for roundness at both ends, new small end bushings and new rod bolts.

Reassembly will begin next week once I get the new rod bearings...

Heads will be completed on Monday with new guides, seats, SS valves, exhaust studs

nice! im right behind you doin the top end on my 2.0.

how much did the heads get decked? any idea of their volume?

nice work - what did it cost ya?

Aaron, I will get the total costs on Monday when I pick up the heads. I should have the other information as well. Volume and other specifics will be available after I pick them up. I am not going to run high CR, probably around 8.5 or 8.6. Due to points considerations with our rules.
