yep... that's pretty much the plan at this time.
It's just nice to have parts on hand rather than
having to wait for them until after you find out
what's up.

Subject: Re: engine rebuild after the screw up! What are the odds
Paul,
Might as well drop the pan and extract the #3 piston
and rod for examination. Then decide if you want/need
to replace one or more pistons and rings.
You'll have to remove it anyway if you decide/need to
replace the set, so why not?
