    With regards to seeing if it will start and run: Of course, battered wrist pins bores in the pistons will not prevent it from starting —until the weight of the pin dancing around on the circlip causes the circlip to come out. When that comes out, the pin is going to drop down and be gouging a groove in the cylinder wall and the game is over. So, what’s the point? Do you want to run it till it destructs or live with it till it gets worse, but not broken yet? I guess it is up to you.
