I have a balanced 3.75 fresh machined rotating assembly for H beams rods and have forged Icon IC890-.030” over forged pistons I would part with if you wanted to do some upgrades and not find a machinist. I am not sure if the ring height lines up though, not sure how they would work on a seasoned engine. Doesn’t sound like you necessarily need too change that stuff though.

Here is a pic of #7 which in my opinion had the worst looking piston skirt of the lot. Would you rerun this? BTW...the block and crank are headed to Len Williams' shop tomorrow to be vatted, checked out and re-honed.
