Ok I removed the cylinder awhile back. Found the rave valve stuck in its orifice. A bolt was too long and pushed the metal down on it. Got it out no problem. Took the the cylinder off. Went to a machine shop today to see what they could do. The noticed some wear in one of the cylinders. So they think the best thing would to be a complete rebuild of the pistons and cylinder. I checked the piston in question. It has some scratches on the side where it came into contact with the cylinder. So, for about $470 they will machine the cylinder and get new pistons, rings, and complete gasket set. It comes with rings and pretty much everything.
How difficult is it to get the pistons off the rods? Do I need to remove whats left of the motor in the hull to work on it from here on out or can I do it in the hull?
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE SOUTHWEST HOUSTON AREA THAT CAN COME HELP ME WITH THIS???? Seriously! I would feel much better if I had someone that has worked on these motors and could kinda show me the ropes. I want to get this thing running so bad. I appreciate any and all help. Always do and will.
