Removed a piston and liner today in my D318 and noticed a gouge in the bearing. The crank journal has a slight scratch in it also. Anything to be concerned with? Remedies?

That's kind of a loaded question....how big a scratch?...can you catch it with your fingernail? How about posting a picture. If it truley is minor it probably can be polished out with a little emery cloth.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
