yes...7 and 8. It's a K1 Technologies crankshaft...

I know this sounds cheesy, but for the 0.008 piston, I wonder if only a few seconds of sanding with a sanding block and some fine sandpaper would take off a few thousandths. We all sand on the combustion chamber of the heads, so why not the piston? ANd it could still be polished up shinier than new. It would stay flat and I bet that would make a few thousands disappear in no time.

If I get that one to .012 like most of the others, then the one at .016 is really no big deal... just slightly lower compression and no clearance issues. It's the .008 piston that's killing me in that getting quench right for that one compromises ALL the others...
