That's what I've seen. Unfortunately those all are early (long skirt) models from what I've seen. +.5 slugs (largest stock size) for that price would be the way to go if not stroking. IMO, for the strocker,...

I think digger meant +1 will require custom slugs = $$$. I just used +1 as an example since that's what I had done form my m20 recently...

+1mm bore + deck is about $600 in my neck of the woods. Worth every penny...

It takes some more time and most importantly skills to do it correctly. Did anyone noticed unmelted filler rod protruding inside the joint in pic #4?
Another factor to keep in mind if offering products...
