So I got a 96 180 motor from a friend. he was driving it, started knocking, he shut it down and had it towed. spun #5 rod bearing, and bearing stacked up and pushed the piston into the head.
I have another crank, need to get another rod, and I would assume its not safe to use that piston again, so I'm trying to decide if I get 1 piston, or a whole set.
doesn't look like it needs bored out but will need to measure for sure. it had 220K on it.
going to rebuild it for towing twins, so it'll mostly be stock with oring in the block, and head studs, also arp rod bolts.
anything else you would do to it? I have 14mm main studs, but don't see any point in using them as the mains are good and I'm not going for big hp.
