I was planning on rebuilding a Tecumseh V60 engine since they are so hard to find.
I have all the needed parts, new piston/rings/pin, new rod, new oil pump, new valves, gaskets ect.
The problem I have is once I had it honed out to the maximum diameter I could go, there are still a couple of score's in the cylinder wall. The current clearance from the cylinder wall to the piston skirt is 0.005 inches which according to the book is the maximum I can go.
I really don't want to go spend upwards of $70 for an oversize piston, so the question I have is do you think it is that big of a deal just to put it together as is with a couple of score's on the cylinder wall?
Thanks.
