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 |

QUOTE(MarkV @ Mar 28 2003, 06:39 PM) If all 4 pistons are seized in their cylinders you won't able to split the case. One bank of cylinders/pistons will have to free to get the case apart. Good point, what was I thinking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Spent too many years working on V8's I guess. |
