Hello All,
I'm going to replace the con rods on my BAM engine with some uprated ones, at the same time I'm going to re-hone the cylinders and replace the piston rings and con rod big end bearings.
Looking at the photos of when I last had the engine apart the cylinders are glazed, so really need the glaze taken off nothing more.
Looking at the available rings & bearings they come standard or different over sizes, bearings 0.25 – 0.50 mm and rings 0.01 – 1.00 mm.
There is nothing wrong with the engine with 122K miles on it; any ideas if I should buy the standard size or oversized?
I’m thinking the re-honing might require a slightly bigger piston ring and the con rod big end bearings leave as standard as I have no plans to regrind the crank as the job will be done with the engine in situ?
Thanks
