It turns out i need new piston rings. since the enging is going to be torn apart on the rebuild, i figured i would put in the 2g pistons. therefore i have a few questions.
when changing to new pistons and rings, do i need to hone or bore the cylinder out? how can i tell if i dont, by simple scarring and scratches?
also, is it really plausable for a guy like me( a person who has never worked on the internals of an engine) to swap pistons and do them correctly? im good with the wrench but im very green when it comes to engines.
thanks for any input, i hope this is in the right forum..i consider anything inside the engine to be extreme.
