pulled the motor today. found this upon inspection. #1 rod bearings are wiped. However, they rod journals and crank surface don't look bad. I'll measure with micrometer, but I'm thinking I could get away with new bearings and recondition the rods. On the other hand, I was thinking of finding a L36 to swap out the bottom end for higher compression. What do you guys think?
