Bad wrist pin

[alik]

So, apart from the (somewhat obvious) engine refresh (timing belt, camshaft gaskets, front main), and new rings and bearings,
what can I salvage and what can I not?
Are the rods reusable? Pistons? Do wrist pins come with pistons or rods? Neither?

TIA

your wrist pins come with your pistons usually

What can I save? Should I save anything?

honestly since it is apart i would do it all. well if your just doing a stock rebuild the crank should be fine. but i would do new pistons and rods, at least used rods from a car that did not have any bottom end problems, but for sure new bearings, pistons and rings, and get the block resurfaced and bored to clean out the cylinder walls if your trying to save some money on the rebuild but still want some kind of upgrade you should go with 2g pistons however big of an oversize you need after they machine the block.

 

Verify the diameter of your crankshaft main and rod journals before ordering bearings to ensure you get the clearances you are looking for.
