The close up picture looks a lot better than the other that I commented on. I'd still take that down to a machine shop and see if a simple micropolishing would be enough to clean up those journals. If not, you may consider having them machine the journals down (which would yeild the need for thicker bearings). 3rd option is to replace the crank.
Side Note: From what I can tell from the bottom it would appear that your piston side-walls are in good shape, which is a relief! Only downside to re-installing the stock pistons with NEW rings is possibly a little oil consumption. Looks like your number 1 and 4 rods have seen some heat, and may need a little honing to make their mating surface a little cleaner (not 100% necessary, but you're already in there so you might as well). Recommendation: If you have the resources...86.5mm forged pistons (you would also need a bore and hone for this), ARP hardware, Rod's resized and checked, Crank micropolished, and ACL Race bearings. -------------------- |
