When taking apart mark all of the rods and keep the rod cap with that rod,direction of rod to.
Take the crank,rods and block to the shop. Unless your going to turn massive RPM's, resizing your old rods and turning your crank will work fine. Have rods and crank balanced. When the shop is finished you will know what size bearings and pistons to get. When putting it back together, plastic gage everything. I always mic everything too. You may want a book on how to assemble engines. There are some little things you need to do. Ie: ring positions etc. Ask the machine shop guys questions on what they think you should do and go to a couple of different ones. At my local shop,resize & balance rods,turn & balance crank,bore engine,install cam bearings, runs around $600.00. This is basic work that at a minimum needs to be done. |
