Sorry, you haven't lost me, I'm in the two busiest weeks of the year at work. Be done soon. The pistons are domed, I'm not sure how much and I think ashtray is a good word, except the two pistons I found a bunch of water in... I should have time tomorrow to post pics. The block, heads, and crank are going to the shop later this week to get blueprinted and cleaned, I'll have a lot of answered questions then. Can't wait to put this baby back together!!

we thought you were gone. if you find a cheap spare block, buy it. motors live a lot longer if they think you have a spare. they can't tell a piece of junk with a bad crank from a ready-to-go replacement!

What model Force? I'd love to see pics as you progress. I'd love to be able to give mine a "redo" some day.
