If I were to do a ring job on my car... would I NEED to remove the crank (the heads have been removed) , since I KNOW that I will have to remove the rods.... what do I need to know about setting and torquing NEW rod bearings ?? it's an '89 305, stock rods/crank, ...
on a different note.. what is the best stuff to use to CLEAN combustion chambers and piston tops (i may as well since the engine is out and open) THANKS GUYS... :rockon:

 

no need to remove the crank...but what better time for new bearings.....

 

yeah you have to remove the crank, wire brush in a die grinder

 

Ede, Why do you have to remove the crank to reomve the pistons? Not arguing here...just a honest question..
