Im sick, stuck inside so i opened up my old engine from a while back to take a looksy, i found some stuff i thought that would be worse:



Hmmmm ps and stuff was looking ok, piston sleeve is burnt out though



Hah! i knew i burnt the piston!



Only the top of it?[:-]



Rust ring? lol



Talk about clean! [X(]

I thought it would be worse, no sand/dirt was in it! The engine was spotless except for the rust and burnt spots from running lean....oops lol. Would this engine be safe to still run? [&:]

it depends on was it running when you took it out or was it not

What kind of question is that??????? [&:][&:][&:]

well it does depend was it running or not,that will tell you weather it will run without a rebuild or not

last time i used it it ran...lol

Oh yea, big thanks to those who helped me on the other thread i made, i was just outside running the new engine got done 4 tanks no problem.

then yes if you put it back together correctly it should be fine

i tried i cant get the piston back on lol...

,take it to a lhs and have them do

ugh they arent opwn on sunday and monday...o well. [&:]

lol, my pistin is like that too. it may be a little britter but pretty much the same. still runs great

Here is a way to determine whether you need a new piston/sleeve. With the flywheel still on the shaft, the cooling head on the engine, and a glow plug installed... if you can use ONE finger to turn the engine over (by pushing on the flywheel), then you need a rebuild. That yellow glaze is from the fuel having castor oil... thats good to have.

Crash you get one engine going then strip another down talk about jumping in at the deep end.

im bored ok!??!!?

Besides i got my new old broken in all nice...and this one will only be used as a 3d model...

Well your no longer an engine NooB.
Hope you get out soon mines bashed up so no playing for a while need to order bits and clean it.

i need fuel and lhs isnt open today...o well. My cold is almost gone i should be out and running the truck tomarrow.

And yes, that was like the first time i took apart an egine without any help...now i know how everything works on my truck! :]
