I'm only in it about 800.
So far
When you remove them mark the pistons and rods to the correct cylinder they came from. 1-6 front to back is how I do it when I tear down my blocks. I use a grease marker and just # the block on the outside of the cylinder walls, and on the tops of the pistons. I also suggest if you're removing them to have the block milled.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

i know thats what i thought. i just dont feel like dishing out the cash for 72.00 bucks in bolts
when mine literally look perfect. But if someone here thinks that my engine will fail let me know.
