I know I can do DOM .750" tubing that's .188" wall that can then be drilled to the .625" final ID but such a small amount is pricy online so I was seeking other possible alternatives (it was $20 for 8" of DOM plus the shipping costs which are stupid right now even though it's only 1lb).

I found 1018 steel 'Weld Washers' for repairing reamed holes in surfaces. They come in various sizes but the depth is only 1/4" beyond the shoulder. They might work though. I'm going to measure the knuckles TRE mounting pad for depth tonight....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
