The pistons look beautiful. Your Total Seal rings will be gapless, I hope?
Final question, where do we find a diesel crank?

the 23D crank is very heavy (20+kg),
this one was lowered to 16kg & balanced with flywheel + clutch cover.
the total assembly was 32kg on my first race 2.4,
then 27kg on my second race 2.5 and they both rev nicely to 8200+rpm.
I guess the weight is somewhat proportional to displacement,
this 2.7 will rev to 7500rpm max so it should be OK.
yes my Total Seal are gapless.
the 23D engine was fitted on RekordE some SenatorA and lots of OmegaA,
we trashed many of these cars in the 70s-80s,
some are still in junkyards or on Ebay.de of course!
