Thread: Might be looking for 1 l67 piston and rod

I am pretty sure if you did that the engine might last 200-300 miles before it turned into a boat anchor.
Your best bet is to start looking for a new complete bottom end.

These bottom ends don't like to be rebuilt at all

How do you weigh a chipped piston..

Save yourself some trouble,get a good junkyard motor.Rebuilding these right can be done,but you have to pay to play.

I swapped in a new rod/piston into my old motor and it lasted me several months until I got a new motor to throw in. I thought I had 1 chipped piston but I found two more lol. Take my advice though, just get a new motor. This one will run fine on a chipped piston for a long time, mine did on 3.

You should just get a new piston. Reuse your old rod and bearing. You will need new cap bolts as well.

Call Morad Parts Company. Ed and the guys usually have a few laying around.
