Oh, I meant freeze plugs. Dumb autocorrect.
You can't see in the picture, but the connecting rods have some ugly surface rust. Also the top rings on #2, and #8 were not doing their jobs. See below.
There was also surface rust on the crank on all the exposed surfaces. See below.
I'll talk to the machinist when I take it in. Hopefully, I will not have to buy a new crank. Depending on that discussion, I may just build my 318-392 stroker. I was hoping to use this as interim engine, and a spare when I get the next one built.
Any thoughts on the viability of this crank and rods? I was thinking that I'd just just get these Scat I-beams.
