Different Crank In The Tub Engine

[chris adams 0]

if i was to use my 88 throw crank in my xu10j2te engine would i need to get new rings if i was to give it a light cross hatching. the cylinders are in great condition and there is still cross hatching all down the bores could i get away with the ones that are in there already ?

its alot of work, seams silly not putting new rings in at the same time

Sure you don't have any bore-wear at all?

 

As the rings will go beyond their old turning point it is essential there is no wear ridge in the cylinder at all if you are to increase the stroke.

weather or not the engine had a recon by the previous owner i dont no. but i was wel surprised when i took off the head to check the condition of the bores.

affraid not mate i bought the mi from grimsby where some lil s*it had set fire to the front of the car, and rather than spend loads of money on full engine rebuild i decided to throw in a tubby engine, the car is still in its very early stages of being built/ stripped out as i have no job so money is supper tight. i will sort out some pics but they on my other laptop at my house as im at the mothers at the mo.
