progress
So....turns out my donor crankshafts con-rod was 2mm shorter!
Unable to find the EXACT replacement the used good con-rod is otherwise a perfect match so i was forced to use it anyway despite the anticipated loss of compression. I'm not planning on racing so hopefully it should be livable.
with the info about cam chain sprocket alignment my machinist was able to press everything back together.
spent yesterday putting the motor back together.
new piston/rings and a hone job; we shall soon see how sucessful i am.....
