I'm trying to decide what to do with the engine at this point. I could get the heads remachined. The pistons, bores, and block appear OK. However, I'm concerned about the metallurgy changing, and about the block warping.

Should I even attempt to save this motor, or should I scrap it?
I think to really know if they've changed from a metallurgical standpoint, you have to know where you started.

If I was worried about it, I would not spend the money on getting questionable parts machined. Maybe talk to the machinist and see what they think. Luckily, we're not very hard on equipment in CMC /s.
