I'll have to inspect the fit of the flywheel a little closer. But at first glance there wasnt any fresh scoring. Fingers crossed. That would be quite a blow.

I used whatever rings the initial builder used. Not sure how to ID them. They looked fresh and smooth. I honed the cylinders with a 3 pronged stone honing tool.

As far as rockers go... From what i've learned so far they are a seemingly crucial part of the engine working well. Is everyone resurfacing them/not caring about it? My buddy was seriously taken aback when he saw them. Though so far all the italian car enthusiasts i've met seem to have pretty ideal expensive standards.

Thanks for that info Paul.
