Default Re: Sandblasted piston

Just like what crashed_1 suggested, perhaps you could put new piston / sleeve in together with a new conrod. How are the other parts like the bearing?
Front bearing is ok, rear one (I mean the one inside the crankshaft) has something inside: you can feel it sometimes turning by hand. But may be I can take it away since you do not feel it constantly.
Anyway P/S + conrod + rear bearing is 160 USD at mushroom, I will think over, don't know if it is worth since for 260 USD I can have a new engine...

BTW how do you take the rear bearing out? Heat gun and ...?
