I am really having a struggle here. I have a good block sitting on my work bench. 4 servicable pistons and rods, 2 servicable sleves, and I am having turmoil inside. Do I: 1. Locate two servicable sleeves, get me a set of rings and a gasket set and rebuild this engine so it does not smoke but has some wear or 2. Do I go whole hog and get the rebuild kit with new sleeves, pistons, pins, bearings etc.

Regarding alternative #2, with crank grind, machine work, complete kit, I will probably have $800.00 in the motor(I think) and I will have the internal knowledge that it is "new" and then pull it over in the corner for the estate sale! I can make it look good and be good.
For #1, I could contribute the $600.00 or so saved to the orphanage. or #2, wife could contribute it all to the orphanage later. I am in a rut here...give me something to think about. Tw
