Let the pros be pros is how I was taught. If you measure it and it needs to go to the machine shop, let them tell you what piston and rod/bearings to buy. They will advise if you need new valves. That's the way the IH dealer dad retired from did it anyway. The 2 shops we always dealt with will let you know usually in 2-3 days what parts to order. They will even let you send in your parts and have them reassemble the engine if you want. Or they can order from their suppliers.
