my ca18de doesnt have them, instead will use a notch on the base of the rods
much like 4age and some other engines do.
I dont have the oil turbo water oil provision either but easily sorted.
The rods will be worked as they are the same as the det.
Pistons will be checked and heat proof coated.

Blob how much did it cost to get the engine cleaned?

From memory... Acid wash block and engine parts cost about $60.00 and they do a final clean of the block and head after machining also at $20.00.
So in total about $80.00 I think.
They take into account the other stuff your getting done too.
Got all of my machining and the head serviced at Hoppers Crossing Cylinder Heads, Can't speak more highly of them! Good blokes and quality work.
