I just got back from getting the pistons and cylinders off of the case. Just want to add that this is absolutely awesome, never done anything like this before and all of you and Wayne I want to thank for sharing the information and giving the confidence to do this rebuild you are all great.
Chris thanks for your opinion and included information. It seems as though you are held in pretty high regard. I hope that I am as meticolous as you have been.
Anyone have a reason why the magnet is not sticking to the intake head studs? I still can't see anything terribly wrong with the fourth cylinder either, even though it is off. I am thinking maybe I had a piece of carbon on a valve or something. Here is a rough picture of the 4,5,6 pistons before I got them off. Man those wrist pins were a pain in the neck. I really think that due to everyones opinions and my own feelings that it is best to get it done right this time. So I am heavily leaning towards splitting the case.
