so what everyone is saying is to disassemble clean and put back. OK. do I mark the location of all the ring gape and make sure they are the same going back? keep piston and cylinders in same location? if everything checks out good put them back and move on.
I had my heads re -built, they are in new shape. they took .005 inches off the heads. I think the shims I have for the cylinders is .025 ( I will have to check on that ).
what do I clean everything with? I will take pic. of piston and rings as I go and post them.
I have read everything here on these pistons and cylinders. there seems to be two camps. one say throw them out, one say you can re-ring and be good. well for someone like me it is confusing . if I can clean and re-use I am good with that.
because of health I can work on this in spells. I have put off pulling p&c until I felt I had a good direction to go. what you are saying makes sence to me. I really thank you all for all your help. this site has been so much help on my car so far....
this my baby.
