Oddjob:
Depends what marks are on them Ted, not the letter but the number. If they are all number 2 then they'll be fine and he can reuse existing shells.
Trigger:
You can not go by crank markings as, the markings are for a new crank and not a worn one. Everything needs to be measured and matched. All con rods have a weight in grams and must match and that goes for pistons also ;)
Oddjob:
I disagree. So long as the crank doesn't show wear it will be fine.
Trigger:
The eyes lie to people that don't know what to look for but, measuring up is the only way to get a accurate measurement.
I would never build a customers engine and assume that it looks OK :o
Bryanj:
Only problemGraham its only old sods like me and thee that can read a mic accurately, and know how to zero it!
For home mechanics plastigauge is a boon but can get expensive on shells
