Dave, gents..
I can forsee 2 probs. w. align-boring:
1. not enough meat in the main saddles
2. I couldn't find a shop that can align-bore around gere (in NJ).
Auto machine shops have only align-honing bars (no good). You'll need
to find a real shop w. a real boring bar setup that will take time to
set it up and do it.
Or you can go crazy like me and get a big lathe and a mill to try to diy
:). But my first 2 motors are going together w. ground cranks, just
'cause I already have them.
