Subject:diesel rod weights
From:Bradley Flubacher
Date:Tue, 31 Dec 2002 15:54:36 -0500

I had sent a message a bit ago with some questions about rod weights. I
took out the pistons and rods and disassembled them. I took them to the
post office to use their fine postal scale and found that they were all
within .01 oz of eachother.  Now I can sleep at night!

I've reassembled the bottom end and temporarily bolted on the oil pan.
 I'm going to replace those pan bolts so I didn't finalize that job.
 Now on to measuring piston projection to determine which head gasket I
need.

Thanks to everyone who helped,

Brad
