OK,
I am down to the core motor, a 2.0 liter. I still cannot turn the crank with a loooonnngggg wrench. I assume since this was field stored in the North East for over ten years that we have a rust issue here. I know you CA guys are not used to this. My question is this...How would one go about freeing up the pistons from the cylinders if in fact that is where it has a rust problem??? Is there a special tool out there, kinda like a gear puller, but larger that will pull the cylinder off the piston??? Once that is done, the rest will come apart even if there is rust... Rich |

I agree with Andy, split the case first, to avoid damaging the crank and remove the rods, pistons and cylinders as one. Then let the piston rings soak in Liquid wrench. Use a piece of ABS pipe or wood or something softer than aluminun but close to the diameter of the piston and tap the pistons from the top to loosen them.
Chances are, if the rust has been there awhile, the cylinders will be pitted right where the rings are now and will have to be oversized to clean them up properly. If it is the crank that is siezed, you will find this out when you disconnect the rods. Just hope. |
