Desertson Your first name would be nice? Any way To hot tank the motor would be OK if it is the soap ONLY deal NO ACIDS or ALOCLIDES in with the water. Unless you see scratches in the cylinder walls they should be OK. Number the rods and pistons so they go back in the same holes. If you can slide them apart check them, if not make sure the piston rotates easy on the rod and pin, no binding. As far as the bearing thing slick said I have pulled apart more engines than I would like to remember, SOMETIMES the bearing stay with the cap and sometimes it stay with the crank I would mike them!! not the guess that my ERA friend said. For removing bolts on heads, take 1/4 turn on all then take off anyway you want. reassembly take them down to torque spec in 10 lbs increments. Rods bolts are now being checked more by bolt stretch than torque readings. The spec for the rod bolts is very close to the stretch number. Piston rings, check for the scratches in the cylinder walls, if you have them the block my need a hone job and you will need new rings, the end gap will to larger than spec and you will have a little less power and sealing. Bottom line USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. Remember Animal house and the 2 guys sitting on Pintos shoulders?
