Default RE: ME Snipe 1.5cc

Thanks guys for all the information.

I took one the engines apart[X(], it has evidently been run with a lot of castrol oil, lots of "varnish" and black carbon. When I removed the finned barrel from the cylinder it seemed to have a gasket between the barrel and the crankcase. It might of just been a lot of carbon, I'm not sure it was a gasket, does anyone know if one goes in between the finned barrel and the crankcase? Is the prop drive pressed onto the crankshaft?

I'm going to soak it in some kerosene for a couple of days do soften the gunk up before I continue to disassemble it.
