So.....give me some pointers, I'm not new to rebuilding engines, but they're all different, so what are the pitfalls that I can hopefully avoid?
after developing a rattle/knock; i replaced the timing chain to no avail, pulled the pan and balance shafts to find a spun rod bearing and, of course; scoured crank.
Do these motors do well with a rebuild? having the crank ground/polished?
Money will dictate how many parts will be replaced or reused.
So far the pars to be replaced will be:
Oil pump, rod bearings, water pump(just because)...i will be pulling the crank, of course, to have it ground; Do I HAVE TO replace the main bearings? Knowing I will have to put them back in the exact locations they came out of, of course, if not.
thanks, Joe
