I have not had the crank out for inspection yet. I spent this weekend removing the transmission, in two weeks when I get back to it I'll lift the engine out and begin disassembly.
Would it be possible to line bore the block and rods to do away with the shims? I know that's been done on most similar-era farm tractors that used shims on the mains and rods.
As far as getting away from original...I'd like to keep the foot starter, so would that rule out the 292?
