Td42 billet crank

[0-TJ-0]

If you replace the crank and bearings, won't the rings smash into the step at the end of their wear pattern?

I don't know what "should" be done but I had an old Landcruiser that had all the bottom end bearings done leaving the rest of the engine alone. Got it off the guy I used to work for like that, never had any issues.

I think perhaps tolerances would be tighter on new materials would actually end up making the rings stop slightly shorter than with "worn" parts.

Dunno. Not a mechanic haha.
