Re: That's the end of my '93 Metro.....

I know that now is the best time to replace the rings....

But - I am in way over my head right now.......let alone taking on the rings!

From what I know, I would have to hone the inside of the cylinder walls.

I have to remove the piston rod bearing on the bottom to free up the piston.
Then I could screw up those bearings when I reassemble them. The slightest dirt will burn them out.

Any one of those two things alone I could screw up beyond anyone's recognition!
What if the cylinders are not round? I could make slightly leaky cylinder(s) totally unusable!

If I screw up, bye bye engine.....
