318 LA rebuild after losing a valve seat

Yes install one rod at a time and make sure the crank turns free, then go on to the next.

Make sure to lube the cylinder walls, pistons and rings with engine oil before assembly.

May want to take one of the top piston rings and slide it into the cylinder bore and make sure it has an end gap so it is not tight.

Fresh bore job, new ring set, new pistons. Have to check and measure things so it all works together as planned. Things can go wrong, wrong parts recieved, etc . . .
