I would not order ANY parts until I had dropped the pan and measured the crankshaft journals, and examined the condition of them. This could turn out to be the J-O-B from Hell. Good Luck!

I'll try to say this nice. If you don't know why they sell standard and oversize pistons, rings and bearings... you have no business going inside an engine.

My understanding about oversize parts
1. Replacing the previous which have been oversized (machined)
2. The current size being original will require machining and will need to be oversized during rebuild.


In general I would suggest let the mechanic deal with ordering parts as then he has to deal with improper/warranty on parts. The mechanic may get better pricing and at times that influences their choice. Good luck in your endeavor.
