Rebuilding a 225 slant out of a 79' for my Dart.
Curious which rings and main/rod bearings are suggested to pick up and use? This engine only needs to last me a few years then I'll swap to a SB but for now, I just wanna freshen her up a bit.
I don't want to shell out $$ for a hot tank and hone or rely on the shops in my area to determine which rings I should run really... not a lot of good machine shops in my area or for many miles that I'm aware of.
I have some flexhone dingleballs I believe are the correct size to hone it so my plan is to just swap out bearing shells and hone/re-ring and do the pushrods new and possibly lifters.
Any suggestions on which brand/coating to use for these cylinder walls is greatly appreciated!
Also in pursuit of some head bolts. I seem to be unable to locate a set of new/stock head bolts. Are they good to clean and reuse? I find ARP but 130$ for a set, maybe I will get them.
