RE: Z650 Engine Rebuild Winter Project - #14: Piston Problems

in Hive Motors2 years ago

It is true! when checking pistons and cylinders of an engine we do not know how we will find them. Good thing you found a new set.
At home I have seen pistons with super glued rings, but they are left in a bucket with diesel oil for several days until they loosen and are easy to remove, this is if you do not have ultrasound.
I congratulate you for finishing the job. I look forward to seeing the next job. Greetings and success 👋👋👋👋👋.

Good tip about the diesel - thank you ! The ultrasound didn't loosen the top ring, so I'll give the diesel a try, and it should tell me whether the problem is burned on oil or galvanic corrosion.
