Dave, highs and lows...
Well done for getting the car back on track and bummer about the engine. Btw, little engines are great fun... Found that out using the 1584 after the 2276 expired in a similar fashion!

What journals are they? You might be able to get them turned down to a smaller size, VW to Chevy for example, but don't know how that would affect the surface hardening.
