All ripped out now. Definately need new rod bearings. The trick of warming the pistons with hot water to make the wrist pins fall out worked like a charm! One of them pushed out as it was, the other two were snugger, just warmed them and pushed out! I have to go on a battery run for my micrometer tonight also. First Ebay purchase made today! Purchased a Triumph Spitfire Competition Preparation Manual.
