Hope I'm not too late here. If you go with a used piston and cylinder, make SURE you use the same height group as the rest of 'em. Number inside a triangle at the base of the barrel. The Cap'n

Are you comfortable using the existing oil cooler. I've heard nasty
stories about bits hiding in them after breakage like that. patrick |

I've heard nasty stories about bits hiding in them after breakage like that. patrick I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling about any of it, but any bits that might have made it past the scavenge pump would have been caught in the filter on the tank. The on-engine cooler gets oil post-filter. Now there could be bits in the external cooler, but again, there's a filter between it and the engine inlet. |

Umm, Joe,
if i were you, I would tear the engine down as these metal bits, even "metal dust" will wipe the bearings out in no time. No matter what the screen does, these nasty stuff will find it's way and destroy everything that requires lubrication. yeah, it can be costly but hell, its far cheaper to have the bearings replace and clean out everything in the oil system for once and all... Just my opinion as i've been there before.....especially when I forgot to put one gawd damn wrist pin clip in.....nasty, nasty, nasty The ring landings....good chance that the groove has widen over wear and tear, it's enough to break the rings...i've seen it before too many times....
