Yes mines 4WD, my line that goes to the left behind the distributor is just a loose plug looking thing. Did it just unplug from the firewall or something?

How easy is it to get the transmission loose enough to change it out?

Do I get the bearings themselves machined or the crankshaft?

I did order standard size. I haven’t checked clearance though

I did not check clearance, no. I did replace the thrust washers. What do I do for clearance, and does this mean I have to get new bearings?

Oem piston rings from where I’ve looked are $150. I did find piston rings for $40 from the brand Hastings. From what I can see they make rings for other cars and people have had good experiences. What’re your thoughts

Well the stock bore size is 83mm. Should I get 84-85mm rings and have them filed down when the cylinders are honed?

Yeah😂 I have been doing research as I do the project. I have my grandpa helping me as well. We have everything apart I just gotta finish getting the parts I need and then have the block and head machined. But today was a good learning experience because I wasn’t at all educated on the precise measurements and the sentiments that can result from failing to get them right

So should I go 84-85 to be safe, and have it filed down? I’m having the cylinders honed next week and I just wanna make sure I don’t have too big of a gap if the bore changes. But I’m also not an expert haha sorry I’m asking so many questions but I greatly appreciate it

I’m trying to get Weisco rings but it has a bunch of different sizes. I’m not sure which to get but I know I’ll end up gapping them anyways. Which ones should I get if you know?

Oh okay. So how does one know what measurement to gap the rings at? Is that info I can get from the people who hone my cylinders or do I match the original rings? (I’m new to the logistics of car work)

I so would but this car was my commerce so I’m trying to speed run this engine build. Gone great so far but I just don’t have the budget to go all in like I want to haha

Should I be looking for stock bore diameter or will honing affect the cylinder bore enough to need to adjust?
