2 liter teardown, continued
Gentle Alfisti,
The damaged engine gave up it's head yesterday afternoon, but the no. three
piston and rod would not exit through the top of the liner bore. The rod's
big end was so deformed that it bound at the very base of the liner, where
apon inspection, I could see damage from the rods impact...though it had
never actually parted from the crank. Now that the liner has been
functionally staked to the block, it's a real mystery if it will ever be able
to be removed or if the block be a candidate for the scrap heap. Even if it
could be driven out, it's damage would certainly compromise any future seal
of a new liner. Blast.
