Thought of it last night after our talk, but if I post my cheapskate ideas on here rather than an email, you might get even better money saving ideas.... Take the pan and head off, pull out the pistons. A few hours? Soak the pistons good in penetrating oil or ???? for a day or 2- more? Cause my bet is it was sitting so long before you got it going, they were tight to the walls then, but now the rings are stuck too deep in the groove with now overcooked gunk. That's what that z134 I telling you about was doing- the cylinder walls look polished better than new- so instead of soap powder (!!!!) just run a hone a few minutes each? And if it still looks shot at this point, or goes back together no better off... well... no loonies wasted... OH BTW, let Dave crawl on the frozen ground getting the pan and bearing caps off... old soldiers like the sorta $%^&.... [Reply]   [No Email]
