Piston failure, major overhaul.

I will try to. I'll try to squeeze in there maybe and use the motor as the drill press. What's the best way to get the weight loose?

And those wires...

[germandude890]

I think I know what may have happened to those wires. As I was test driving the ground cable became disconnected from the battery. I can't imagine this to be a good thing.

Didn't see a ground wire on the module look at the wiring diagram again. It is important. LOU

Its grounded to the frame. There is another thread going on here too. It revs up great and then bogs down and doesnt want to do any more than idle. I pull those coke again and wait 5 more seconds and it gets a nice boost and then slows down again. very weird. Doesnt seem to happen as much when the belt if off and im just revving it.

Also the wiring is fixed. and it coming lose from the battery was the problem.

also not cleaning out the shrapnel came back to bite me in that ***. this has resulted in me getting a .50mm oversized piston and boring out the cylinder...

Ok, time for a major update:

Basically everything is good to go except the crankshaft seals. I have the engine out and removed the fan.

I cannot for the life of me get the clutch to pop off with the diy tool. Any suggestions?
I cannot get the flywheel off either...

I used a steering wheel puller on the flywheel.

I also used an air impact on both ends. That way you don't have to worry about trying to hold the crankshaft from moving.
