I have popped the head off, looks very clean lubed and moves easily, back end by the piston arm also looks good>>>do I need to get the piston and cyl wall out to look/clean if needed ? IF yes, how do you get these parts out since it is tapered and will not come out the head hole, and do not see how to get to pins to take off the arm ?? Thanks, Frank
frd1952 wrote:Wow...pretty slick idea Steve. If I get it, you assy the parts like u said, then thru the exhaust port on the bottom side (so you turn the whole thing "upside down" to drop in the washer and to see/work inside the cylinder ??) with the piston all the way "back" towards the crankshaft end, you drop in the washer from the glow plug thru the exh port and then with that washer laying on the real "top" side of the cyl (which is now actually closest to the floor as you do all this) you slowly turn the flywheel to have the crank/piston to wedge the washer between the piston head and the notches in the cyl wall sleeve. The washer will push the sleeve out of the head area. Then you can see the pins holding the piston to the arm and can remove the pin(s) and then remove the arm and the piston head...do I have this correct Steve. Sounds pretty tricky, but makes sense...Is this how they meant these parts to come out, or were they never intended to come out without wrecking them and putting in new parts? just wondering..is BDC when the piston is at the full "back" position closest to the crank, and TDC is when it is closest to the glow plug ?...thanks again.
