What is the normal practice in terms of inspecting the case halves prior to a rebuild? Is this something I can do myself?
All the bearing surfaces looked fine and the connecting rod play was between .008 and .010. Assuming I don't see any visual signs of damage, does it need to be sent to a professional who I assume has an expensive tool that checks the alignbore? |
