Well, I finally have this engine apart and...Well, I can't bring myself to replace the crank or rod's. The bearing's look perfect on both as well as the crank surface. I will take some measurements while I have both cranks side by side, but I believe I will be keeping the babbited rods for now. About the only thing that needs any help are the cylinders. It has 60 over 216 pistons in it to bring it out to a standard bore 235, but the holes are close to 20 over. I think I know where the blow by was coming from.....

And the rods that I got in have 40 over pistons on them so I think I will us these pistons, get a set of rings, freshen up the head and put this thing back together this weekend.
