dip stick and bearings

Also, have a rebuilt 225 that was never run. Tore it down because the privious machine shop left a significant ridge in the #1 cylinder and I'm having it sleeved. Can I reuse the main and rod bearings, again, never run but was torqued to specks.

I wouldn't reuse the bearings for the same reason you can't mix main or rod caps on the block or rods. Each bearing bore measures differently and the bearing crush will be different in each bore. You're asking for a spun bearing if you reuse them.

You can reuse them....Just make sure they go back into their original rod/main and orientated in their origianal shell.
