Next week I'll be getting back my block, rods, piston and crank from the machine shop. I couldn't get the ridge eliminated with hand tools. I'm really ready to get the motor back in. One thing I did a few years ago was reduce my compression from 9.8:1 to 8.5 to 1 by having my head bowl blended. I ended up getting oversized turbo pistons that will take it down to 8 to 1. They discontinued .024" oversized NA pistons for B230 motor so it was my only choice other than expensive forged pistons.
