Hey, I was watching the series because I’m about to do this process myself. Assuming there was a bit more damage to the cylinder walls and dry running symptoms, would a bore with pistons, rods and maybe cam do the trick?
No, that's all she wrote. I pulled the bearings out and they were trashed. Some were paper-thin and others were just scored up. Cylinder bores were scratched up and had very little crosshatching left. Pistons seemed OK but they would need rings at a minimum.

Yeah, that and new bearings all around. Check the crank journals to see if they are scored up; they were really bad on this one.
@@eatont9999 Thanks for that
A sad sight
Any updates???

Is it back on the road now?
@@JonathanO711 Yep. The customer has been driving it since the engine was replaced. Wound up doing a transmission for him a few months later.
