Motor rebuild ? different pistons?????
So, I saw a motor that had been 1/2 rebuilt, they only replaced 1,3,5,7 pistons. I don't get it, I would think it would cause uneven wear or something. Anyone have anything on this?

I could see if it was only one piston needed replacing, maybe.

Could have hydrolocked one side due to coolant in the cylinders and replaced pistons and rods.

That is why I am hesitant to get it. They are all STD pistons, so none are bored. I am going to pull the oil pan next time I get a chance and check the bottom end out.

Re: Motor rebuild ? different pistons?????
It`s not a rebuild unless all pistons are new.It`s an overhaul.If one needs replaced,they all get replaced when I do a motor.My`72 Sierra got all new pistons and valves.
