Default Re: 89 EC25 3pg rebuild questions

If your rod moves sloppy side to side you would be better to go with a long block. They come with new jug, crank w rod, piston, seals and bearings and gaskets. May just as well know what you have and be done with it.
Increasing tail pipe size from the muffler may hurt the performance as they run very strick on back pressure.
Not a big deal splitting the case as along as you make sure you have removed all the bolts. Double check before pressing to split.
My advice as this engine is a bit of pain to remove and doing it more than once by hoping it will be ok is just adding work and it may fail way out in the boondocks as they never fail next to your shop.
That would be my advice.
