Doing a top end on a 1.7L. New c/p's. New heads.
The p/c assemblies seem to be quite dirty. Should I take them apart and clean and relube evetything? what should I clean them with. I read about weighing the pistons. Should I check the ring gap, or assume(I hate that word) the were checked when assembled. This ain't my first time, but it has been a "few" years. Thanks, Curt |

Swapping pins, the wrist pin boss and under the crown done with a milling machine. If the balance guy pulls out a drill bit for doing the backside...RUN!
I totally dissagree with Matt's buddy on crank balancing, he must rebuild straight sixes (or V-12's) for a living. Unless he's talking about the whole crank assembly, balancing the crank alone is worthless. But if he's talking about the whole crank assembly and you do the rods and pistons, well you just did the whole engine. I check all the rings. |
