My Pete rebuild

[Nostalgic]

I only removed about 9 grams total from one fat bottom rod. I just removed a touch from the casting flash on the cap, but most towards the bottom on the beam's casting flash. Cummins is a little rough handed when they clean casting and had made a pretty deep gouging grind on one of the beams, so I only went deep enough to take most of the grind marks out.

Quality control from them seems to hinge on what kind of day the person doing final inspection is having. I see blem blocks for sale where Cummins rejected them for the front gear cover dowel holes being off center of the crank by .001" and just hope the inspector(s) doing the parts I ended up with were as thorough.
