sheefreak Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Did we not have this discussion about the shitty hone from sears, or was that someone else? Quote
c zappy r Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 Yea that was me, unfortunately that Quote
sheefreak Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 That's cool man... live and learn. I am not going to give you a hard time. They are going to have to be looked at. You really need to get a good crosshatch on those cyls so the rings seat correctly and to help oil retention. It is hard to say what you will need to do w/o looking at them. If the bad scratches are below the ports you will be ok. Just get it honed by someone that has a flex hone. Or as some on here call it, a dinglebarry hone...LOL. Worst case scenario is having to bore it and fit new pistons to it. I would take them to someone local to have them evaluated... Quote
c zappy r Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 Alright, thanks a lot, the only things I know about rebuilding motors is stuff I read. trying to teach myself and don Quote
2001Stroker Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Or as some on here call it, a dinglebarry hone...LOL. haha. I do believe that was me..... Quote
sheefreak Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 You may be able to remove enough material w/the flexhone, but may be approaching clearence problems. Like I said, it is hard to tell w/o having them in front of me. Prolly need to take them somewhere that knows what is going on if you want it done correctly. Quote
sleeper06 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 Need someone to measure piston/cylinder clearance,before you go taking more material out, you could end-up with a loose motor that will not last long Quote
