AdrenalineJunky Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 When taking the rings out the top ring came out easily but the bottom ring on both cylinders didn't move freely and was kinda stuck a little bit? Is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that normal? Didn't seem normal. Didn't know if it was because they had gotten too hot or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastquad02blaster Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Prolly just carbon or something. Soak em in diesel or kerosene for a day or two then wire brush out your groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 wire brush on the piston? not sure i'd be doin that, when chemicals, like intake cleaner work wonders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Break one of the old rings in half, use that to scrape the ring land clean. Probably just carboned up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. Thx I appreciate it. I need to take a pic of my cylinders because it looks like they may have been ported, dunno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Mass air flow sensor cleaner reall cuts shit, but pricey, CRC MAF cleaner $8 local to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrenalineJunky Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think I got a can of that and I only used it like once. I'll try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 yah, i only use that for one thing, since it's made not to harm the maf, but the throttlebody and intake cleaner is stronger and cheaper.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
