I have all three pistons removed.
The back side of the bearing halves for each piston are tarnished and brown? But are not warped and fit seamlessly into their respective places.
So am I looking at new rod bearings? The kit that I was looking at from YD Tractors does not include bearings.
The crankshaft doesn't appear to have any scoring what so ever.
I am now looking at three liners that are still in the block. The more I look at them the more I feel I should get them out with a proper puller.
I just don't see a way to get a good bearing surface on the liner from below to enable me to push it up and out with a bottle jack.
So...
Please correct me if I am wrong,
But I would need to remove the old pistons from the rods, install new pistons on old rods, replace rod bearings.
Then remove the old liners, replace with new liners and install my new pistons into new liners. Questions is, how do I compress the new piston rings that will come already in place on the new pistons from YD Tractors to fit them into the liners?
The manuals I have show tolerances and measurements of rod bearing diameter at various locations around the circumference when bolted to the rod to see if reuse is possible, etc. but I just wanted an easier opinion on, "just replace it, or not".
Best.
