Michael:

I assume you have had the crank checked for journal diameter and condition -- if not, please have it done if you don't do it yourself! New bearings won't fix damaged crank journals.

If you took the pistons out, you will need new rings, too. If they looked OK, and you didn't remove them, you are probably OK, but if they have been removed, it is foolish at best to put old rings back in.

Check the piston pin bushings for wear -- there should be no play in them if you twist the rod -- any play means the bushing is bad and needs to be replaced.

If it were me, I'd have checked the bores for wear and re-sleeved them if necessary, and checked the rods to make sure they aren't bent -- not very common on these engines, but since it is apart already......

Peter
