the hole is ok.... or at least it looked ok to my eye

its the scoring im talking about...

That pin doesnt move freely so that isnt too important.... its the main enf of the rod that connects to the pin, the pin is solid to the piston

the new engine, albeit has alot done already, still needs......

new valves
new valve springs
new valve seats
new valve caps
new valve stems
new stem seals
new solid tappets

It has new ones in the head, but i want uprated SBD ones to help with the power/rpm/cam profile i want....

not cheap, nor easy
