Lee and others, if I were to do this today in my own shop, I would mill each individual piston on my mill(bridgeport) and mill the block sepatetly as Lee and larry are suggesting.I would then at least check the piston weights to see if they were still equal and re-balance if necessary. I was just trying to support Lee's theory and help him Make a point that there are still ways to make durable performance motors without spending big bucks.While todays vast inventory of amazing machines,equiptment and products are here,Ingenuity is still alive and well!!
