Rebuild questions

[JuGs]

Ok Im goin to I guess call it halfass rebuild my motor. Rings are fine I just wanna pull motor remove BSs and since Im doing that replace rods and main bearings. If the crank just needs a polish I can use standard bearings right? Im sure all that is fince but I rather be safe and replace it while its out of the car. I dont wanna just do a BSE and rise spinning a bearing a few weeks later.

if you are buying all that, it wont be more than a few more bucks to re-ring and hone it back out real quick. its kinda lazy to do the hard work and skip the easy stuff.. why not?

get it all done while the motor is out or you might be pulling it again right away if those old parts give out.

If you're already ripping it apart and putting in bearings, I see no reason not to rering it. IMO it just wouldn't make sense.

^^^^^^ I will agree with the above.... if your that far in, you may as well hone the block and put some rings in it.

I agree but Imnot sure whats goint to happen yet. I might come across a 6 bolt here soon and start a swap. I also didnt plan on pulling head off but I might to do everything right since I have time to work on it.

Ring sets are like $30. That's a step you don't want to skip unless you're not taking the head off.
