Suzuki Samurai 1.3L Bottom End Rebuild

Hey all y'all Zuk Junkies! I this video I show y'all how to rebuild the Suzuki Samurai 1.3L bottom end. I'll being showing you how to remove the press fit pistons off the connecting rod, getting the new pistons on those connecting rods, how to check and adjust ring end gap correctly, as well as how to install the assembled pistons with rings into the cylinder. I even give a small tutorial on how to modify the stock oil pump to make it more efficient.
