Pulling apart that Aluminum case 2.0 motor in anticipating to sell it and cant seem to get one of the heads off.
Motor has been sitting for 20 plus years and rotates freely. 4 heads came off with a little more than a ketchup bottle thump. 1 head came off with the cylinder attached The other one, wont seem to budge. Made sure all washers were removed. been soaking with PB Blaster for a couple of days BTW: motor had been sitting for several years and a mouse had made a nest on top of that particular cylinder. Hence - Mouse motor... Any suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Confirmed last night that all of the nuts and washers are off.
Using a 1# plastic tipped dead blow hammer with quite a bit of force. One of the other heads came off with the cylinder attached. This one is stuck on both sides Penetrating OIL is doing its thing, since last night and will get back to it after 7 tonight. So far. 1) using a wood block and a bit more force sounds like first option. 2) Putting plug back in and rotating to see if compression will move it. 3) use leak down tester with cylinder at either TDC or BDC and let compressed air do its thing. Will give those a try. Thank you for your suggestions. |
