I always wondered why i have that big tool box full of measuring equipment. Next time you do a rebore, as long as the piston fits in the hole it should be fine mate :o :o :o

Might be difficult to find a Conrod of the same number - could it just be a worn Gudgeon Pin causing the problem?
Bryanj:
I can do you a set of 4 rods if you need them, would have yo check codes on them

That’s a completely condescending comment Bryan and frankly insulting to a lot of members. Using a micrometer isn’t hard and digital micrometers have a zero button these days.
I’ve build hundreds of engines and never ever used plastigauge, it’s not rocket science to spot wear. It doesn’t take years of experience to spot it either. Most members on here are more than capable of tackling these engines, it’s insulting that you seem to suggest that only you can do these simple engine rebuilds. It’s not got VTEC, it’s not a V4, it’s a extremely simple design that almost everybody can get their head around.
DomP:
So going back to my last question-
Is it good practice to replace all needle, roller bearings in the gearbox etc or if they are smooth with no play can they be reused?
If I were to plastigauge what colour should I use, from looking I think red?
