I pulled cylinders and pistons. I checked the top and middle land clearance. .004 inch will go but .005 would not on 1,2,3 pistons. I will pull other side next week.
the lands on the top of the cylinder and the case both look good. no broken rings. the only markings on the cylinders are what you see in the pictures.
looking at the book the rings are not in the best location. can i change that? I marked where each gap is on the piston.
I guess my next step is to take rings off or do I keep them on and just clean them? what should clean them with?
all the pic. are of the #3 set the one that had the fouled plug.
