Removing rod caps would have voided the 90-day warrantee as well.
I'm very confident in this one. I've been through it completely. I even borescoped it ahead of time before teardown. It cranks around easily, has great compression using just the impact wrench, and I found no major problems.

Those cylinders look amazing! These series 1 bottom ends are so tough, you can probably put some serious power on top of that block without touching anything. That engine was a good find.

Ya, I know they cost a bunch but....
What about the rod and crank bearings? Are you going to plasti-gage them to check tolerances?
Cylinder pressure is one thing.......oil pressure is another.

I think that the L67 Series I Pistons are hardened/Coated not forged... The Rods may be another story tho

(other box is in the trunk)
I didn't feel like driving home first to get the green car, then a mile farther to get my trailer, then reversing the whole process after unloading.
