So, at the Sterling meet I did a leakdown test on my motor, and found a problem with Cylinder 1. 45% leakdown, but 120 lbs of compression. Was tempted just to let sleeping dogs lie, but pulled the head off.
What was going on was clear as soon as we did that, the head was not totaly sealed to the cylinder, off by a very small amount. Instead of having the head recut, I decided to try and lap the two of them together. So, last night I hand lapped them, using ground graphite to check for even contact. I got good contact after the third round of hand lapping (lap, clean, check). Now I need to get the jug back on the block. I have a ring compressor on the piston, but I can't ficgure out how to get the head back on. Do I have to take the piston head off the rod? If so, how do I get it off. It looks like that tis a spring keeper that needs to be removed. Is there anyhting on the rod the needs to be loosened before I can pull the pin out to remove the piston head? Obviously, if there is a trick to getting the jug back on without pulling off the piston head, I'd like to do that. Zach |

Just keep tapping the stud. And tweaking it every day. It will start to move eventually. Heat is your friend. Just keep it going.
Have ya tried 4 vise grips and 2 people..?????? If all else fails. Just bear down hard with a rattle gun and double nut or a stud extractor. You WILL bend the stud. Get another stud form me or Jake or whoever. Thats the worst case scenario. No big deal. Note: If your case register is collapsing. What makes you think it won't continue to collapse after the decking...?????? I'll bet you the following will happen. If you have the block line honed. You wil also find out that the block is distorted from the main bearing collapsing. Thus the deformation of the block. Thats has been my experience on the last 2 GA block I threw away. I hope Jake tells us more about what and WHY is going on with these 2.0 blocks. He is the only one I know that actually has the answers. Me... I'm just doing a bit of guess work and trying to surmise the facts. He knows the facts. If I didn't have the luxury and use of of a couple of high end machine shops and Jakes descriptions of our block issues. I would be seriously screwed. ONLY because of his knowledge. Do I have a clue to any of this. Again... The word grateful come to mind. Else my shit would blow up and I wouldn't have a clue as to the why's of it. I have an EA block sitting around here somewhere if shit hits the fan on yours. Or I think you can buy a decked block from Jake if needed. (At least you used to be able to) So there is more food for thought. Clayton |
