#2 Piston Pics - Got it out!!! Need feedback
Got the piston out. Just tapped on the rod bolt a couple of times and it loosened up. Came right out of the cylinder, no ridge, no problem. Here are the pics. Any feedback on the condition of this piston or what the pic might tell you would be appreciated. http://members.bigvalley.net/wuji/je.../piston_2a.jpg http://members.bigvalley.net/wuji/je.../piston_2b.jpg http://members.bigvalley.net/wuji/je...berrings2a.jpg Thanks, Bill |

Re: #2 Piston Pics - Got it out!!! Need feedback
what's the problem with the rod bearings? What looks bad about them?

It's though the babit, at least two hundred thousand miles. But as
long as none of the others are through the copper, then just buy the same size inserts, what do they say on the back, .010?

Yes, .010
"through the babit"? How can you tell they look "babitized"? Is it the thickness, wear? Also, there is one that is loose and the other that's attached to the rod. The one attached to the rod comes off, correct? Thanks, "L.W.

Re: #2 Piston Pics - Got it out!!! Need feedback
Oh, I think I get it. The worn area on the loose bearing is copper? I
didn't pick that up right away. Now, what if others are "through the copper", what do you suggest? Thanks, Bill I have 3 more pics. Two of the piston without rings (both sides) and the rings separate. I left these at a higher resolution to show detail (about 200k each). http://members.bigvalley.net/wuji/je.../piston_2c.jpg http://members.bigvalley.net/wuji/je.../piston_2d.jpg http://members.bigvalley.net/wuji/je...s/rings_2a.jpg "William Oliveri" <wuji@bigvalley.net> wrote in message news:c1r2r4$1l7og3$1@ID-193866.news.uni-berlin.de... > Yes, .010 > > "through the babit"? > > How can you tell they look "babitized"?

Same suggestion I have suggested, you pull one piston and you ring
and put bearings in them all. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ William Oliveri wrote: > > Oh, I think I get it.

Thanks for the help Bill.

Hi Bill,
Nope, I just scrap the big stuff off. And use an old broken ring to scrap out the groves, being careful not to gouge their sides. Chemicals strong enough to remove carbon usually eat the aluminum.
