Burnt oil is the best for that kind of projects let it soak . Got to love it .

Torch Heating the cylinders from inside the water jackets with the freeze plugs removed saves the pistons.

Was the rust too deep where a .030 or .060 overbore wouldn't have cleaned it up?

@YLegalRacing Жыл бұрын

a bore job can fix it, all rod bearings shot and obviously the piston are not useable, my buddy who wanted the motor was told the bottom end was useable. going 30 or 60 over would work, but that also mean going 30 over pistons with a full bottom end rebuild, which is out of the budget. video was for fun

Pistons rarely seize to the wrist pin, so it would have been a much better idea to remove the main bearing caps, rotate the crank and then remove it. Seized pistons should always be pressed out downwards into the block because you are moving away from the rusted cylinder wall towards unrusted cylinder wall. You can also use a billet of aluminium machined to fit the cylinder to spread the load on the top of the piston. If the pistons don't seem saveable a socket close to the bore size will do. This way you can remove the piston without damage and without the risk of damaging or cracking the cylinder wall.

I would also suggest "if possible" to remove all caps and take the crank out so you don't damage the journals. Also since some engines are worn, there will be a lip created by the rings on top of the cylinder which prevents things coming out if the rings are stuck inside the piston. So not only should you press away from the rust, you also press away from that lip.

@@Diglo1 Of course we should also recognise that on some engines the pistons cannot be extracted through the crankcase because there is too little space between the main bearing webs. However for all the reasons previously discussed, pressing the pistons downward first is best and will allow access to the rusty cylinder wall between the top of the piston and the first ring. This can then be removed with a bearing scraper or the cylinder filled with a rust chelator like evaporust and left for a couple of days. Using a chelator is an advantage because it helps free seized rings which would otherwise jam on the wear lip you mention at the top of the cylinder.
