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

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

RE: Engine break down.
 

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.
