Please read the whole post before you get too crazy.
So, I picked up a talon for $1,000. It was thought to have needed a head but I threw new plugs in it and it started right up. Sounded like a dead lifter. Put all new lifters in it and still makes the noise, have came to the positive conclusion that it’s a bad wrist pin. I have two good rods and pistons from my old stock bore 6bolt. I was wondering if I just pull the head so I can pull the pistons from the top and then drop the pan so I can pull the rod caps off and proceed to get the rod and piston out if I could swap rings from the motor they came from into the pistons from my old motor and just throw them in? And say when I try to pull the pistons from the top the rings catch on the ridge and break, can I use the rings from my other bone stock 4g?Everything is stock. Stock pistons , rings, bore , everything . So in my head I feel like it could work.It’s a 190k motor and I am just not interested in rebuilding the whole thing right now even though I now it’ll need it in the future.I can buy new rings if need be but I just wanna slap it together , if I buy new rings I’m not sure how it would act considering I’m not going to hone the cylinder It’s a bone stock car and I’m just going to daily it. I do not plan on honing it either because the crank will still be in the car . Tell me your thoughts ? Thanks all
