finally got the motor out, AND the pistons turned out to be .030.---- the loose one dont have any broken rings but a lot of wear on 2 sides, looks like deep scratch marks like some grit was in the oil. Sludge in the pan was about 3/4 inch deep and very slimy ---dont think the oil was ever changed since the last rebuild on the motor. Ya he not in very good shape-----Rod shells look good and are tight. one guy was talking about squirt nozzles on the rods,---all mine has is holes in the rods, one on each side of the rod and a third hole in the bottom cap. I never messed that deep in Wisconsins before, so its kinda Greek to me as to whats s'posed to be in them. Anyway a couple pix. of both sides of the piston and the hole it came out of, which is kinda wavy in the bore.
