Several weeks ago, I posted a note about excessive pressure in the crank
case. I think now that it was either piston blow by (two pistons each had a
broken ring) or head gasket blow by as there was evidence of gas passing
from #2 & #3 into the lifter gallery. New one to me, never seen anything
like that before.
Anyway, decided to replace the pistons, head gasket, bearings, etc.
Basically do a rebuild. Got the pistons to day. The new pistons use
c-clips to hold the wrist pin in place. My old pistons have a press fit
wrist pin.
Anybody out there ever go through something like this? Can I use the old
rods by just pressing out the old pin & removing the pistons? Do I need new
bearings for the wrist pins? Do I now need new rods?
TIA
