Shadetree Mechanic *whistling*

Well in between rainstorms I managed to jack the engine up and drop the pan (It DOES NOT come all the way out, even with absolutely EVERYTHING else removed!) and took the broken piston out. I ran a hone down the cylinder and it *should* be good. You can feel tiny bumps but it should seal OK (especially seeing how the thing ran WITH the busted piston!). Should be together tomorrow.

Mike, not positive but I think the hone is suppose to be truning when you run it down the cylinder [Image: biggrin.gif] [Image: biggrin.gif]

Good luck. We are al waiting the results of the compression test.
