Well I figured while I was on the hunt for the gear shift plate I would see what kind of shape the top end is in. Glad I did because its not to good. A lot of wear on the piston skirt and the cylinder wall is pretty scuffed up. Not horrible but probably needs a bore. My biggest concern is the connecting rod. At the crank it is the common tannish color like the crank. However just above the it is blue from heat and goes all the way up to the wrist pin. It also has some play in it. My question is, is this normal. Do I need to replace the connecting rod? Also depending on the bore what are my piston options. I was thinking a 10.25 piston. If I up the compression what else shhould I upgrade. Also how much does an aftermarket cam cost.
