Old,
You and I agree on many things, but I'll agree to disagree with you on this one. I can keep the shavings from droppin betwen the piston and cylinder wall by using glazing putty rolled out thin like a good fishing worm and gently put at the top perimeter of the piston. Use your air gun or shop vac to get the 98% of the shavings out and then pull up the glazing putty with a few shavings stuck in it and throw it out.

Maybe that engine was one in a million, but it was mine and it suddenly got very sick. As I was a church-mouse-poor college kid at the time, I didn't have money for new bearings and turning the crankshaft. And I needed to get 2 more years out of that car, so it got 2 new Montgomery Wards pistons w/rings, a head and pan gasket and 6 ridges reamed. It ran for many more thousands of miles.
