4) Can I just remove the crank but leave the rods / pistons etc. in place? (Yes, I know I have to take off the bottom caps of the rods....I'm not that stupid...)
I'm reluctant to do this because the engine runs so strong (if it ain't broke don't fix it) and if I have to tear down the engine, I may as well get a stroker kit which just is not in my budget right now.
Thanks.

Call Wade @ BOP. He set me up with a Viton seal and some instructions on how to do it with the crank in the engine. All you have to do is pull the back cap and follow instructions. Mine is bone dry after the install. I'm very happy with the product and Wade is a top notch cat to deal with.
