So I have the engine completely dissembled. I measured the crankpin and it definitely needs to be ground (.006 out of roud). Talked to the machinist and he said he would have to send the crank out, said it would be $100 to have it ground!
and another $200 for the rest of the machining if I bring him a clean block. so much for a budget build, looks like I will have about $500 in the engine
