Re: reusing pistons in motor rebuild

you'll have to pull the engine apart to check the wear on the cylinders. otherwise, it's hard to say.

on my 68 1800, i was able to re-use the stock pistons. i purchased a re-ring kit from ipd and, 40,000 miles later, it still runs great.

when you have the engine apart/at the machine shop, check the wear on the cam. these tend to wear out faster than the block. if the lobes are worn, get a cam from ipd, you won't be disapointed.
