Tony,

Sorry to hear about the wash down. Good news is that it sounds as though you cought it before to much damage was done. If I lived closer I would be over to help you this weekend. Regarding your crank, mine has been turned .030 and I have raced it hard in three, three day sessions plus the normal around town driving.
I will be running the same crank at St, Louis in two weeks, so the point is ask a few machinist before you disgard your crank.

I also think you may have underestimated your cost:
gaskets $100.00
rings 100.00
bearings 100.00
crank Polish 75.00
miscellaneous 100.00


Hopefully, you won't need to replace your cam bearings because then you would need to have them pulled out and new ones pressed in. I hope I haven't discouraged you but your costs could be a little more than your estimate. Good luck.

Clois
