Default Re: 59 AB engine rebuild

Given the evident condition of that engine, it is likely not much can be reused, including the bearings. Have both the rods and crank carefully measured by a good shop to determine both the size and condition. We have encountered cranks with odd sizes on the same crank, probably due to regrinding at some time. When you order bearing sets, check each pair to be sure they match the size on the box. For some reason, we have recently received cartons with mismatched sets. Camshaft bearings are another critical place, as bad bearings will affect oil pressure.
