Revo 2.5 flywheel
well... i was only planning on cleaning my revo after a couple of tanks today...
but now i'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get the flywheel off. and how to get the sleeve out...
it doesn't feel like i've got much compression and thought i'd take a look at what's inside the engine.
i don't see any "deep" scoring on the sleeve. most of the wear appears to be on the lower 2/3 of the sleeve with a couple of pairs of score marks that run a little higher up the sleeve.
is this normal?
this has been a great engine during the 1.5 gallons that i've put through it, never really had to tune it and been running it in winter conditions.
thanks in advance.

RE: Revo 2.5 flywheel
the deeper scratches might be from small foreign objects entering the engine while cleaning filters, detaching fule lines, etc.. ive looked at my cylender, and about halfway into it, its prety worn. when i pull the flywheel off, i take off the cintrifical (i know its spelt wrong) clutch, then put some plyers or something on the wheel on the notched part, and then undo the bolt holding it on. then, get a flatheaded screwdriver and pry it off. thats what i do.

RE: Revo 2.5 flywheel
yeah, i've gotten to that pry part. guess i need a bigger screwdriver.
ok that's done now.
so now the problem is getting the piston off of the output shaft, any suggestions? sorry for the noob questions, but this is my first time, so i'm trying not to break anything.
although then i'd have the perfect excuse for the os18.

RE: Revo 2.5 flywheel
Slide the cylinder out first. Be careful not to scratch anything up if you are planning to reuse it. That should give you enough wiggle room to get the connecting rod off the crank and slide the piston out. I have only done this once, so I am by no means an expert. If someone has an easier way, please share. But that is the way I took it apart.

RE: Revo 2.5 flywheel
thats how you do it, if you have a dowel or something wood, a skewer or something of that sort, wood stick lol, bush on the sleve from the back plate hole. just dont use anything metal to push on it
