A couple of questions if I might....
Just tore down my 84 22r to do a valve job and replace the timming components. I saw on the internet somewhere that it is advisable to rebuild the oil pump check valve while I have the pump out. Any know if this is the case and if so what is involved. Looks to me that it could'nt be more that just a couple of "O" rings. Also, While I had the head off I pulled the pistons in the cylinder that had the lowest compression. I am thinking about honing the cylinder and putting in new rings. While inspecting the rod bearings, I noticed that there is a definite wear pattern on the bearing, but I don't see a matching pattern on the crank. Can I just put a new set of bearings in without turning or otherwise addressing the crank? I want to get this vehicle running asap and only plan on keeping it for another year, so I don't want to spend a fortune.
