Are those cave man markings on that piston? lol Seriously, the skirt wear is ok........generally you don't want to see the oil grooves on the skirts worn through, but for what you're doin, let um ride!
Yeah.....by the time I was at this point it was hot outside and I didn’t know about the clocking. Wasn’t gonna come and post and then go back and mess with it. So I just hit it hard with a scratch awl and marked them to go back in.
Normally I wouldn’t do this and mark all the stuff with a series of dots punched into the side of the rod. For this engine....didn’t matter.
