I finally have my 88 B2 engine torn down and mostly cleaned up, and am about to order a rebuild kit.
I originally planned to order standard sized components unless a rebore was required, but discovered the existing engine was a rebuild so I'm not sure what I'm working with.
Main bearings, rod bearings, pistons, and rings are all available to order in original size or various oversize options. I've measured all the parts I pulled out, but I can't find specs on what "original" should be to determine what sizes I need order.
Here's what I know:
Cylinder ID: 3.69-3.7" (I think 3.66 is standard?)
Rod bearing thickness (cross section): .059"
Main bearing thickness (cross section): .075"
Any guidance is appreciated!
