[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 116537, member: 82"] Feeling for play alone will not tell you 100%, but with that said, years ago, I got 3 partial engines, I made one out of all three. I measured the bores, and gave them a hone. I did nothing else to the bottom end other than a good clean. It did get new pistons and rings, this engine ran better than any that I built from scratch. Injector pump wasn't touched, the injectors were pulled apart and cleaned. People will say do the job right, but it is your call if you feel it's worth spending the extra money on it or not. I have slapped new rings on old pistons from my wife's car, I actually didn't measure side gap on them, but the engine ran flawlessly till the day we didn't bother renewing the registration. [/QUOTE]
