Most of the 7 bolt motors I have experience with have warped girdles. They are a pita to line hone, but I perfer the "interconnected" design.
Thats why we bush/pin the most 4g63/4g64 motors we do (or atleast recommend it).
can you explain "pinning" a bit better? This is something new to me. Is this something along the lines of adding a pin that goes from the cap to the block to keep the cap aligned properly?
