I could really use some more oil capacity to go along with the new oil cooler setup I'm building.

As far as the base compression... I've got some minor (to my untrained eye) scoring on cylinders #1 and #3 in the block, but my pistons look good. I'm hoping I can just hone the cylinders and slap new rings on the pistons and call it good. But if I need to bore the cylinders, that means new pistons, or sleeves to match my existing pistons. If I have to go with new pistons, I could certainly customize the base compression... but ultimately, I'd like to be able to use the JE's that are already in there just to save some cost.

Drop us a line we'll get you a pan and baffle at our cost mate, least we can do!
