My 317 y is almost done at the shop. It was bored out .040 over due to the cylinder condition. The mechanic is installing the new pistons and rings, new rod bearings, new main bearings and new cam bearings. He said the crank and cam are in good condition. He also said that the heads are fine as is. I'm trying to decide if I should have him put the heads on or if it's easy enough for me to do.
Once the engine gets home, I have all the rest of the parts to install. Don't know if there is an order to put the engine back together.
I know some of y'all have been in my shoes and I'd like some advice so I don't run into more problems than I probably will anyway.
I also would like to hear from yous guys about how to find out if the other components are in working order or not. Talking about the ac compressor, oil pump, fuel pump, power steering pump, water pump, etc
Napa says they can test some of them but the age might keep them from being able to.
Thanks all y'all for the help, again.

methinks BlackTie was talking to me... I have a lot of questions open at the moment around here. Smile

AND

I very much appreciate the input from everyone.
