    Spring Cap install help request

    1. It is not possible. You will waste time trying to install them that way. Just take them off. It's just 2 bolts.

    Found 2 Metal Shavings in oil. What now?

    Thanks eucharistos. To tell you the truth I am pretty excited about taking this engine apart. When I bought this car I was given no information on the build. Did a lot of research and found that it was built by underground but do not have a build sheet on it. So, it's exciting to see what...

    Found 2 Metal Shavings in oil. What now?

    It got to late last night so I'm going to take the head off tonight and see what I can find. If I find that the rod is bent and replace it with a new piston, rings, rod, and bearings should I be good to go? I know it is hard to see from the picture but do you think the counterweight is fine...

    I could see where a piece has been bouncing around in there some. That was the only damage that I could see. Have yet to find the piece of that piston... :dunno:
