Low Mileage stock bore Rod/Piston swap

We have done this on one occasion at least as the customer was on an extreme budget. As stated previously this is not the best way to build a motor, but it does work. Assure that you cover the crank during the honing process, remove the oil squirters, watch for oil on the backside of the rod bearings, and clean the hell out of it afterwards and your results should be positive. Possible issues are increased oil consumption, cylinder taper, cylinder out of round, and compression issues based on finish quality of the cylinder wall and ring seating.
