: This is a start to a new thread following
: on from my recent engine pulley / oil
: leak thread. For those unfamiliar with
: the engine pulley thread, I tried rope
: down the bore of cylinder #4 as a
: method to keep the engine from turning
: while I removed the front pulley. My
: son and I applied way too much torque
: and damaged piston #4. So... our
: simple project to fix an oil leak has
: become an engine refresh task as a
: minimum.
:
: The head is already at the machine shop
: and tomorrow we should be able to pull
: the block so I can tear it down. Based
: on an improvised leak-down test with
: the head removed I anticipate finding
: that we collapsed the first compression
: ring gland on the piston and put the
: rings in a bind.
:
: Details of what we find will be posted
: to this thread over the next few days
: and weeks.
