    I see what you mean. There was a low-compression .030 oversize OEM piston/pin, Buick no 1396735. A web search for some came up empty.

    A bit of bad news from the shop.
    A few cracks found in the heads, that will need to be repaired.
    Glad I took her in.

    Pulled the fenders off for some hardcore maintenance and prepping.
    The machine shop will give me an overbore number today, likely .030 over.
    I'll need a new camshaft, as well. I'll likely just let the machinist choose the camshaft,
    but I was curious as to which camshaft you guys might choose, if it was up to you.
    Any suggestions?

    Finally ready to paint the front end frame, and move my way back.

    Pistons showed up in the mail, and I handed them off to the machine shop.
    Silv-O-Lite .030 over
