Engine damage / 440 RB

Thanks at all for your help, i appreciate it very much.

Moper, that´s what i think, too. I just saw the heads are also resurfaced, don´t know how much....must be cc´d to get the info.

Camshaft is a comp XE268....i´d choose sth. a little bigger to bleed of some dynamic compression. Would this be a step in the right direction? Timing is limited to 32 or 34° total, he used the best available pump gas over here.

I´m also concerned about the rods generally. To me it seems they are not round anymore, see pics from the bearings.....what do you think?
