okay i took the cooling head off ( wow them screws where so tight, i put loctight on them when i put the cooling head back on, is that right??) and i couldn't see the side of the piston but i could see the side of the sleeve when i had the piston at the bottom and i didn't see any grooves or such dug in the side of it?? so i guessing that is a good sign??? what had the screws so tight? was it loctight on them or just from all the heat???
and one more question. when i have the glow plug in, i feel a pinch when the piston goes up and then a easy spot and then a pinch as the piston goes back down, when the glow plug is out, i don't feel any kind of pinch till the piston goes back down ( which of course its a very slight pinch) but everything i read says i'm suppose to feel the pinch at the very top, so why is my pinch when its started going back down about an 1/8" ? which this is how its always been since i have learned to turn the flywheel LOL. its not something that has just started
Man your going to have a GOOD time getting the screws out next time. You shouldn't of done that but it will be fine. The pinch thing id for when the glow plug is in. The reason you dont feel pinch at the top is becuse there is a hole letting out the air that makes the compression. Most of the scratches are not visible.
