Ok, so an eArlier thread discussed ring without pulling an engine. Well I had no choice as when the valves I mentioned in my earlier thread acted up the strain pushed likely worn rings too far and I had to break her open.
All has gone very smoothly up until about midnite last night when after 1 1/2 hrs of trying to get the #2 cylinder back on over the rings (#1 went right on the new rings) the rings are not compressing enough to go on!!!! I could really use some urgent advice everyone! Btw, in a pinch, other than this glitch, the engine came apart in under an hour to the pistons. In the van. I recon I'd have had her back in no time, had this not happened. Thanks! |

...don't forget to stop and change that dang oil Rad. I'm almost tempted to recommend you add some Mystery Meat, ummm, Mystery Oil and let her run a bit and clean her out again. The issue now is that you are putting highway miles on a partial break-in, works fine for old iron block Chevy's and Fords, not so well for aluminum... Stop and change the oil anyway next big stop if you have the cash... Clean the loose crap out as best you can when you uncap stuff - I recommend you purchase a small magnet on a stick and shove it "gently" up and around the innards when you change the oil - that's my 23 cents of advice...
If any of our recommendations work to get you back to Vermont, parts of your thread will deserve to be in the "Historical but Scary" section of the site... |
