Got the piston out. Just tapped on the rod bolt a couple of times and it
loosened up. Came right out of the cylinder, no ridge, no problem.

Here are the pics. Any feedback on the condition of this piston or what the
pic might tell you would be appreciated.

the piston looks bad, but really bothers me is the condition of that rod
bearing! that thing is junk. i would assume that all of the rod bearings
look the same...

It's though the babit, at least two hundred thousand miles. But as
long as none of the others are through the copper, then just buy the
same size inserts, what do they say on the back, .010?
