    Ok thanks!

    I have to start being careful on how much I spend on these motors though.

    I always end up putting in too many NOS parts, on my restorations, then cannot even get what I have into them in parts when I sell them.

    I don’t do it to make money, but cannot be taking a hit on every motor, lol.

    I just cannot bring myself to scrap motors, I need to get them going again.

    I have been spending my morning polishing cranks in my jig. Some I thought were scrap I may end up being able to use after polishing the journals.

    I have about 20 cranks for the 7.5, almost all have a bad journal on the upper cylinder. Seems like all the parts blocks I have threw the top rod.
