Afternoon guys,

Engine is deconstructed - long story which I'll continue to document on my build thread - but embarassingly, a wrist pin locking spring pinged inside the case when I was removing the pistons....bloody typical.

I've been fishing around for hours now with various magnets and torches, drain plug out, oil return tubes out....damned if I can see it.

There's only so much patience I've got, I may have to resort to splitting the case to retrieve it. Very reluctant to do this, as I had zero leaks from the bottom end and #8 bearing.

I used Threebond 1194 to seal the case halves - before I even start, has anyone got any tips for splitting a case that's been sealed with this stuff?

Or does it release easier than I'm anticipating?

Thanks
Spencer
