A few months ago I screwed up my head by drilling in a step down stud crooked, thereby causing the exhaust not to seal.
So I dropped the motor and pulled the head last weekend. One of the cylinder is stuck to the head. As I pulled the head up, the rings on the piston broke. Additionally, some of the cooling fins on the cylinder broke too. When I got the motor, I was told it was a 1911. So in theory, I have 96mm pistons. I hope to measure things this weekend. Here are my questions: 1) Assuming they're 96mm pistons, can I get new rings for them? If so, where? 2) Can I have a spare cylinder bored to replace the cylinder where I broke the fins? If those are both yes, what should I expect when I put it all back together? Should I re-ring all of the cylinders while I am in there? Thanks in advance for your help. |
