WristPin pitting

The 3/4 [i.e. 3 sleeve sets] of an overall kit I aquired for that 22-36 had enough preservative [cosmoline maybe] to be annoying, yet lots of surface rust on the sleeves and pistons where it had been rubbed off [2 were assembled, 1 in the box] and enough on the wrist pins for some nice pitting as well.

I polished the first one with crocus cloth, and the pitting probably isn't deep, but deep enough that I can't just polish it away like surface rust. The fit to the rod is perfect; I almost thought I had oversize pins or undersize bushings!

0 tolerance seems like a pretty good answer to me regarding pitting here, but since the originals aren't exactly pristine either, anyone know how forgiving these can be?

Thanks! I'll see if the pictures came out and try to post those too. Noting that reminds me: I somehow didn't get pictures inside that filter yet, but am still drawing a blank [even after a dozen various goolge searches] on any info regarding a plunger assembly for these - and certainly none regarding a paper filter that would agree with it.
 
(quoted from post at 18:54:28 03/10/09) I would use them unless the pitting is radically deep. (more than .010") JimN

Thanks! I doubt over a couple thou deep, but the % area affected wasn't pretty; this is the one I polished; probably one better and one worse than it.

your worrying too much! that 22-36 will want to hug and kiss you for being so affectionate to her!it will be just fine. better get it together before it all rusts up, just joking.

:lol: I hope it doesn't try to hug or kiss me; my wife might get jealous, not to mention it outweighs me by just a few pounds.

Yeah, I know I'm paranoid; but it isn't mine so I won't be able to hear something going wacky before it takes other parts with it. I'm not worried about it rusting up before it's together though, most of the parts, both the ones new and original were already there! :p
