Re: Reman tranny & Rebuilt Engine Replacement.

That could be the case. Dunno. I've taken just a few modern engines apart ... but they all seem to have this common malady. I suspect the old way of sending oil thru the rod to the wrist pin and spraying the cyl walls would have washed the piston skirts better and keep them cleaner ... just my theory. Of course, the new arrangement is more fuel efficient ... lighter parts.
