I agree. Unless those bores are nikasil (I don't believe they are, still cast iron, correct?) they should clean up nicely. My experience has been detonation is a killer, and my engines always run better on gasoline than aluminum. Tough luck, but pioneers will always pay a higher price than those that follow them.

Just awaiting me to get off my butt and send the assembly to Terry to work his magic. Also fishing for some piston sponsors in case you happen to know of any.

Do you really think you need forged pistons, or are you just playing it safe?
May as well, everthing else is done...though no, I don't know of any sponsors.
