132/124 rebuild

[Chris Tinsley]

I have a 124 sport ac with a 132 powerplant.that I'm rebuilding we've taken the engine apart no worries but found a bit of damage in the number 4 cylinder. Seems a touch to much to just hone, is there any reason I can't get it bored a tiny bit and reuse the same pistons with slightly bigger piston rings?

All depends I guess on what a 'tiny bit' is in relation to bore size and availability of alternative rings. You are probably best of discussing this with a decent engine engineering shop. They should know what is possible and what stuff then can get hold of.

If OK then the worst that can happen is that you might experience a miniscule/very small amount of piston slap when the engine is cold. (Some engines do this from new!)
Nothing a decent quality oil can't take care of.
