So are you going to use the 3s rods with the machined down crank? What pistons are you using?

It does look good, I remember reading an Article that certain car makers like BMW would age there engine blocks by letting them sit in the elements for a bit and let them rust. I never got what that was suppose to do to the block? but anyways your block is looking sweet. Hope your build comes out looking good, best of luck to you

due to money and time constraints, im going to just use all stock parts. just re-fresh the engine with new rings and bearing and gaskets.
