The guy that adjusted my valves came by today to check it out. He could move the pistons a little bit and said, and i quote,"Got too much play in ya dadgum rings, mmmhmmmm. Gonna have to be bored out. What's weird is i cant catch my fingernail on the ridge thats supossed to form up near the top. Don't worry, i'll bring the micrometer tommorrow just to make sure. I got a cousin that runs a machine shop down on Bay Street. Cost bout $40 a cylinder for boring and new piston heads'll be bout $20 a piece. We'll undo the u-joint, i got a lift and a turning stand you can use. We'll go ahead n' take out the crank and mic it too, see if ya wore down the journals, but usually you'd have heard a clicking from the engine if ya did that. I know it's scary, but it won't be that expensive." So right now i'm doing a rebuild. Not necesarily because i want to, but because my dad does. And to think i was concerned about throwing a rod... :mad:
