I found someone at Cal Poly willing to help me with annealing and rehardening 901 internals so I can machine them. He said it would be helpful to know what alloy the steel is. He also asked if they were case hardened.

Well he said it would be nice to know what kind it is to know what temperatures to anneal and reharden at... but he said a hardness test would give him a good enough idea that he could probably get close enough. The real destructive testing will happen when I put it together and bolt it to a V8 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
