100% stock crank

yes, block is 3.5 liter, .020 over. Not really a smart idea to just drop a piston into a bore without honing it

thanks - still debating if I want to leave the surround silver or do it in black. I'll figure that all out once everything is fully operational. Completely replacing the stock cluster with this has presented some issues that I need to work around, so once again, it will be a learning process

Hopefully UPS has my stuff from the machinist today so we can start reassembling stuff

if you're asking for opinions, i think the surround would look best in a satin black

Looking nice nice! I would pick Black.

we'll see - once everything is done, I can worry about color - it's easy to change, as everything in the cluster assembly is modular.

gotta sit down with the schematics of the car over the weekend and start figuring some stuff out

hey Paul - nothing else inside is carbon, so don't think it really would go. I originally wanted to do suede like my arm rests/shift boot/**** are, but I think it's a bit thick to still have the face and casing line up correctly. Good thing is it's easy to take it all apart, so I can always change it up later

Then just chrome it and you get to look at yourself while driving! Seriously though, probably a nice satin black will be just right.
