I've been lurking for for a couple weeks and I've learned a bunch, thanks guys. I just picked up a 96 Metro with 206k miles, with the intent of rebuilding the motor and making it "new" again. I had another 96 Metro as a younger man and decided to get back in one. Anyways, here's a couple pictures of what I'm working with. Body and interior are near perfect ![]() Ready to start re-assembling ![]() |

The machine shop cleaned it, bored/honed the cylinders, milled the head, did a valve job, etc. Other than that everything will be done by me. |

welcome aboard Did the machine shop hold the tight bore tolerances required of these little engines? |

That is one clean, shiny, nice looking block! May I ask what type of pistons those are, and what the ".050" stampings mean? |

I'm not sure about that, I just know he's worked on them before and he had to bore it out .050" because it was a little out of round. |

They are oversized ITM pistons, because he had to bore out the cylinders .050". I'm guessing the stamp just dummy-proofs it? Edited by Morty, Aug 28 2014, 09:37 PM.
