Pleasant Surprise
Well I was tearing down my engine today for a quick overhaul since I had a few leaking gaskets. To my pleasant surprise, the pistons are 60 over with no ridge. All I need to do is throw a ball hone in it. SWEET
The only down side is that I need to go back to the store and exchange my rings that I already bought.

Re: Pleasant Surprise
Looks like a fairly recent rebuild too.

Re: Pleasant Surprise
Well the PO said that he bought the engine in 2000 from a shop, so I am guessing that he just didn't drive it much.
