295s piston rod

Post by mgabl072 »

Got my 295s engine torn apart to do a rebuild. I am planning on sending the crank to Jerome to have the seals and bearings rebuilt. I noticed that the one piston rod has a slight bit of play in it. Can this rod/bearing be replaced? Are those parts available? Can Jerome do this?

Thanks

If the parts are available aftermarket Jerome can do it.. It might only need new shims & he has access to those no problem, also rod bearings, if it needs a rod he might be able to find a aftermarket replacement.. Or there is always a possibility that another Kioritz crank uses the same rods??

The shims seem to be the issue most of the time. Big end rod bearings are not available.
