Hi Bill,

For what it is worth, a quick way to decide what you need is to run those pistons up to TDC one at a time and merely take your finger tips and see if you can move them side to side in the bore.

The tops of the cylinders are where the most wear occurs and is where it will readily show up. If you can move that piston sideways any appreciable amount at all in it's bore, she needs the works.

I've seen engines that are so lose that the pistons will actually make an audible 'knock' when you move them from one side of the bore to the other.

And, oddly enough, these tired old engines will still be starting and running just fine...but, are usually pumping oil to beat the band.

Just sharin',

Allan
