A piston ring was hanging out of the exhaust?

[Phelps]

take a picture and post it. if there was a piece of piston ring missing and in the pipe, ya that would be the problem.

exhaust ring,i just noticed the exhaust is loose from the head

So that little rubber o-ring that sits in the pipe? And no that one lower compression. And the thumb trick is very unreliable. Its nice to find what cylinder in on the compression stroke but that's it. And it'll tell you you have a hole in the piston. Get a gauge. It's a necessity, I think you can borrow them from auto zone.

usually you can its like 40 bucks you can either keep it or come back a month later and get your money back

hey guys so i took apart the head and found out one piston is broken and combustion chamber is scratched up, there are little grooves on the head,do i have to replace the head??? or can i just replace the piston and piston ring??

You will need to get your head fixed if it has grooves and nicks in it.

how can i fix it?

the head? or the jugs?

if its the jugs, you have to bore it to the next size. as long as there mot gouges.

as far as the head i dont know about repair, bbut you can ge a stock one from here for cheap. and you can get a milled one to up the compression a little to bump up a little power.

the jug just one side and will any piston fit if i bore it a next size?

You have to get them done in pairs. You need the exact piston. Lets just say you used the old one after the bore, the gap is to big. The piston will basically flop around till it shatters. To tight is to tight. I think you can figure what happens. You can take them to a shop. They will do it and know what piston you need. If you have the money you can send them out to get ported. Check out hjr or F.A.S.T. I went to HJR and he bored it to the next size, and ported it. Sent me back everything new pistons,rings, and gaskets. If that's not in the budget, just get them bored out.
