[DeTomaso] BBORR Engine photos

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

Michael, I don't see anything in the photos that would make the block or 
crank unuseable. A little work with a die grinder to smooth off the rough 
spots is all thats needed. I wouldn't re-use the mashed-at-the-bolt con-rod 
again; rods are very heavily loaded and that one took a hard lick in a sensitive 
area. The lower rod in the photo is likely OK, but changing a rod means 
re-balancing the engine (unless stock balance is OK with you. I would 
re-balance, if it was mine). One rod looks like it was ground and polished on the 
beam & capwhile the lower one looks stock; did they come from different sources 
or what? My 2¢- J Deryke
