Wade,
From above:
Quote:
You post 2.2/2.4, exactly what is the engine?
If it is a 2.2 with the 2.4 (70.4 mm) crankshaft, was the piston skirt-to-crankcase cut to fit?

If this is a 2.2 (or 2.0) case with a 2.4/2.7 crank & rods, carefully inspect for occasional light contact between a rod or piston skirt to the case.
This can cause a bearing failure.
Also inspect the head and top of piston for occasional light contact.
What P&Cs?
If Factory 2.7 (90 mm) the heads needed a bevel cut at the transition from the flat (sealing surface) to the hemispherical combustion chamber.
If aftermarket pistons (any size), carefully inspect for cylinder head contact.
Disassemble slowly and carefully.
You don’t want to miss something important.
One bearing failure is bad enough. Another after the rebuild is ….
Best,
Grady
