That`s on the list. It will basically be only the crankshaft that is not removed during this process. As this car is bought for the price of a banger, I will only do a visual inspection on these components and only renew if some excessive wear is found.
My impression is that the bottom end is pretty reliable on these engines.
The whole idea is to get a reasonable running car for minimum cost, but will not do shortcuts and let penny-saving cause failure either
