I managed to get up to my dads house on Monday to grab some Sprint parts I need to help overcome a bad transmission (more later) and while I was there we spent two hours and pulled the pistons out of the 216 just to make sure there was no rust as suggested by a guy on the Stovebolt forum.\u00a0 You will remember the engine was stuck from sitting for years -but that I had managed with no small effort to turn it over.\u00a0 Something was making it stick and it’s not much work to pull the pistons out when the engine is on a stand with the head off.\u00a0 Why not?
\n\"\"<\/a>Nice little stain like smokers teeth.\u00a0 Remember the smokers toothpaste commercial -‘imagine what smoking a pack a day will do your teeth?’\u00a0 I always thought -imagine what it would do to your lungs.<\/strong>\u00a0 This is what #6 looked like when it dropped out of the hole.<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a> The corresponding bore.\u00a0 Nothing a quick hone wont take care of.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Here’s one after.\u00a0 There is still a faint bit of rust here so I hit it one more time,<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Fortunate that the rings didn’t have any rust.\u00a0 Yep -those are wine stains.\u00a0 <\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Brass bristle wire brushes are nice.\u00a0 These look much better.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Another problem is the assembly lube had turned into a sticky clay-like mess that required some cleaning.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Connecting rod journals look great.\u00a0 Number 1 connecting rod was replaced when they rebuilt the engine.\u00a0 I wonder why?
\n<\/strong>
\nIt would have been nice to get everything all cleaned up and reassembled but I had a schedule to keep so I left it with everything apart on the bench.\u00a0 Maybe it will find it’s way back together before I go up for my next visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
