- Greg, there is a quick and dirty method of checking bearing clearance. For a couple of bucks you can buy Plastigage from the better auto supply houses. This is a plastic string of known diameter. Sni

- No, the cylinders look great. It's only done a couple of thousand miles on a rebore and I can still see the hone marks. The pistons were second hand however, but the block was bored to give .002" cle

- Well my motor problem just got worse. I took out the pistons and no 3 indeed has a broken oil ring. The bore is also quite badly scored, as I say I overlapped the ring when installing it, and the sha
