When is a motor not worth working on?

<< < (4/7) > >>

Sesman:
Oh, piston rings?

There are of cause lots of risks to consider too…….

Good luck with the build.

Bryanj:
Doubt it will need rings unless broken or out of spec and op did say top end had been done

Sesman:
 ::)Indeed he did…oops.

Ok, so when I get in there, assuming I don't need new bearings for cam shaft or transmission, do I just let them sit in there when cleaning the engine up, and then grease them before assembly? Can I clean the transmission assembly without taking it apart?

Also, when the engine is taken apart - what are some good tips for cleaning out the cogs and innards, and also the case, both inside and outside? I don't want to vaporblast it I think - I don't mind the worn look too much. But I would like to clean stuff up as good as I can while in there.

Also, Primary Drive dampeners is this part, right?
