What about the damage to the counter weights on the crank will it throw it out of balance? I am assuming the cam should be replaced, even though it had hydraulic lifters and fiber gear. I was thinking to replace it with alum. gear and solid lifters with matching cam shaft. I was reading in the patricks catalog, they did not recommend hydraulic lifters in the 235.
Lastly all the carbon build up on the pistons is that something to be cleaned or replaced?
