waxball88 is an unknown quantity at this point
Someone might say what i posted is over kill. But i'm in the process of finishing my KA rebuild (to go ka-t) and like my pops/most people say and would agree. Taking apart your engine is not a leisurely activity and requires TONS of prep, time, and money (Pulling engine, nonrunning car, etc.) So you mine as well get everything you are most likely going to want done, done now, instead of tearing it all apart down the road....or after it blows up. This is absolutely crucial if it is going to be your DD.

Just to throw a quote i've heard my whole life, and im sure a lot of you have?

"Proper preparation prevents poor performance"

For the love of god have a machine shop check your tolerances/file fit rings/Suggest bearing sizes/Honing/Boring, if you can't do that stuff. So you aren't hitting yourself in the nuts when you get the whole thing back together to find a rod knock.
