well i want a bomb proof low comp bottom end that ain't got the steel crank and rods.

so should i get the standard rod shoot peened and the crankshaft lightened and balanced with accrulite pistons but the question what else would need uprating or changed

am i wrong in saying that the crank can be polished (i really ain't sure what needed to make a good reiliable bottom end that is better than standard)
