Well Guys, I've been abroad for a while and coming back, I decided to roll up the sleeves and see what the rest of the engine will bring. Bottom end looks good (only got some phone pictures)

and I got it doing the total 360. As some of you already said, it's amazing what a good spray WD-40, some waterproof paper and some patience can do.
Now for the build, I think I'll go for a 0.30 overbore just to be safe. However, I need some advise about piston choice. Currently, there are dished pistons in the block and from the factory, it has a very low CR. If i go for the overbore and put in flat top pistons, the CR will rise, but is that still low enough to use pump gas?
Any advise will be very appreciated.
Pete
