Been working on the engine I am thinking of spliting the case and cleaning the bores and installing new rings.
Question, this 1100 engine so far is really clean and like new, starter drive is like new and so is everything else I have been coming across.
But I have come across something that really has me concerned, number 4 cylinder piston does not come all the way up to the bore of the block like the rest of the pistons, it has no noticeable movement at the top of the stroke on that piston but it is just short by about an 1/8 of inch from the top of the bore.
Is this right, could I have a bad rod bearing or a bend rod?
I guess I will split the case to find out, ( really did not want to split the case because of how clean it is)!
Can you guys give me some input on this new development?
Thanks Steve J. :help:
