For a recent update, I recently found that my crank is .025" out of round on the journal that the bearing spun. I will be sourcing Paul's old crank to resurface and drop in. A word of advice: DO NOT BUY A CRANK KIT FROM CENTRAL AUTO!!! The crank kit was machined like crap, a lil layer of corrosion was forming on the journals right out of the box, and lastly the oil passageways from the main journal to the rod journal was clogged completely. If it werent for RevMaster checking the most minute details, I would be back to square one.

CRAP!! Well, looks like I will have a bombing CA running around Orlando in a few weeks.

All except my bores are still stock and I have a 1.2mm NISMO metal headgasket. It would be very interesting to know what kind of power you squeeze out of yours. I guess we'll be doing some comparisons here shortly.
