So I decided to clean up my original engine while I run the car with a modified scat engine.
When I drained the oil I found these....two small pieces and the nut.....(dime for size). So I started to tear down the top end and found one cylinder that looked not so good. The others are the same as the right side. went down further and removed the pistons and am now cleaning them all up. Everything looks ok. I really don’t want to split the case or go any further and from what I see inside all look good. So two questions.... 1) any thought on why this cylinder isn’t firing right ? 2) can I use something like gasoline or similar to flush and clean out the inside of the case with the crank and oil pump etc still attached? 3) any reason why I can’t use all the old parts ? 4) any thought on the nut? Thanks.... |

Piston/jug sets are pretty cheap, not sure the time/labor/risk of trying to re-use is worth it in this case.

Piston/jug sets are pretty cheap, not sure the time/labor/risk of trying to re-use is worth it in this case. Many people reborn the cylinders and get pistons to fit since the original ones were made with good metal and a good machine shop should make the cylinders round which isn’t always the case with replacement cylinders. But before you purchase anything, break the engine down, clean the parts and assess what you have. |
