Still, why the hacksaw, MrMPuk, as you must know, there is no need for saw to strip this kind of engine, eventhoug, if it is bended or blasted or not, allenkeys or sockets is enough :twisted:

the rod is too bent to fit up the bore

I.e the main is fouling the sides of the bore and there is not enough movment to move it without damaging the bore

How would you get it out then when it's to bent to fit up the bore? Other than as Guy says drop the whole bottom end out.

There is enough room to take it out from underneath the cyl./bore?

You can connect/disconnect piston and con rod when piston is in cylinder, underneath the block.

Sorry my thoughts are faster than my fingers...:)

How do you disconnect the piston fromthe rod without removing it

You can get it out the bottom but the crank has to come out to do it

You split the conrod lover part and turn the crank abit, then pulling piston lover and removing stopper thing from piston pin, push pin out and conrod is in yours driveway, done it, in 4CA engine. sorry if there is no help. :|

What trans9 is trying to say, is you may well be able to lower the piston down to the crankshaft, exposing the gudgeon pin, enough for removal/dismantling :!:

It appears he's done this in the past, to one of his engines :!: :D :wink:

Whether this is possible with a badly bent con. rod, is another matter :!:

be easier to drop the crank TBH,

If you go this far theres no point in not doing the rings and bearings

So everybody did understand what he was saying :?: :roll: :lol:

Wouldn't that also mean the prop, box, flywheel, etc....... has to also come out :?:
:idea: May as well take the engine out and put in a nice TURBO engine in it's place :!: vrooooom :!: :D
