Hi Alansummrs,
First off, I really appreciate the attention to detail that you've put in to this and other threads.
A question while we're waiting...I know I could ask HDBobber this question too...
It seems that if your having your indy split the cases then Darkhorse don't actually need the cases to do their magic right? Once your indy guy gets them back then he justs buttons it back up, there's nothing special Darkhorse needs to do?
If that's the case(pun intended) then that's great news for me and others that might have to this after checking crank run out.

Build updates: My case was shipped on Friday, so according to HD Bobber I should have it back to my Indy in about 2 weeks, then 2-3 days back to me reassembled in the case with the Timken conversion. A bump in the road has been the pistons, AMS uses GMRs pistons for the 107s and there is some question if Steve at GMR uses off the shelf CP pistons or has some kind of customized CP pistons - would not matter but Darkhorse wants to know the weight for balancing, so trying to figure that issue out. Should be picking up the cylinders, pistons, and heads this week - will post pics.
John at DH did recommend welding the crankpin, along with replacing the wristpin bushings. So with the $495 SCB Service, and those 2 extras the DH bill is ~ $625.

Those too. I didnt have an accurate scale. We do have some shady characters round here that might have a scale but that would be an awkward request.

I have a small digital scale that measure in grams. You can find them pretty cheap.
I just CC'ed my cyl heads that got back from FM, 86.6 and 86.4. So assuming a -003 deck will put me right @ 10.6, perfect!

they would not want to help, might spotlight them
I would think Darkhorse would be very familiar with all the most common piston companies and be able to get accurate weights as long as you can give them a part #?

I would agree. When they called and told me my bottom end was ready to ship ( or, my bill was due ) I asked abought wrist pin fit in the new "H beam" rods, he said they have a control pin from CP.
