I ordered the Eagle forged rods and the machine shop will purchase the forged piston, rings and bearings and balance the assembly.
Here is a fly in the ointment; The 041( SPC-8) cam that is going in is the same one that the engine has been running. I checked lobes today with my digital micrometer and found the old cam with visible wear has higher lobe profiles than the new cam. So do I just put back in the same ( new) cam, purchase a set of Hyland Sharp 1:65 roller rockers or stay with the 1:5's that I have.
Also, the intake( after taking it out of the box from the upper shelf) is a Torker II, not a Performer RPM.
