hi robbie,
On this one i took it apart, keeping every piston lined to go back into the same holes, inspect measure and in specs so i will just hone with 2 grades of stones, re-ring as the bores seem to be in good specs. trying not to add to the costs as little as i can. one reason i try not to bore engines unless they are completely screwed. the crank had been turned before as it is .020 over sized bearings, so cleaned the crank and measured. seems to be good, when i get the block back from the hot tanking i will replace in the crank, plasti the new bearings and hope they will be with in spec. when she came apart the crank spun nicely in the block so i am guessing she should be fine.
