My oldest son is a mechanic, he has done hundreds of top ends, blah blah blah. He grabbed the rod on his 250f, wiggled and pulled, good to go. He caught it in time, cost only around 500 in parts. You have to check it thoroughly! Measure, get a magnifier and light. And if in doubt, cough up 200 more dollars for a fresh engine. There is no time table for changing. Once a benchmark is set you can keep track of time and wear. [/QUOTE]
