Small progress, Got new rod bearing for #6. I lightly "scuffed" the journal with 1000 grit. Then took Roy's advice and used 1/2 of a good bearing shell and rotated it on journal to check for smoothness. No marks on bearing so good to go.
Plastigaged out to 0.0016 so good to go.
I still haven't been to machinist to check on piston rings, but I checked side clearance anyway on top 2 rings. Still gotta check oil rails. Top ring specd out in range 0.0015-0.0035" so good to go on these.
2nd ring side clearance specd out in range 0.001-0.0015" so these are good as well.
Small progress but some, hopefully see the machinist this week to find out some more on these rings.
