Well Saturday it rained all day here so I worked on the engine in my shop. I got it completely tore down except for the sleeves. The pistons and sleeves look real good no scratches or wear that I can see. They didn't even have a ring ridge in them. I just used a piece of 2x2 wood and a few whacks with the hammer and they came right out. I've got to take the crank to get it turned where the #3 rod bearing spun and get that rod refurbished. I think I'm going to take all 3 and get their advice after looking at them to see if they think they need replaced. The engine didn't have maybe 500 hours on it when the oil pump quit. Anyway I might replace them but I thought I'd get your opinions as well as the machine shops.
