Re: Can this engine be repaired?
Thanks guys. Will keep the babbits.
Looks like I've found the cause of the grooves in the cylinder. I could move the piston pin of #3 out of the piston by just pressing the thumb against the piston pin. #3 is the cylinder with the grooves.
However, I don't understand the way the piston pin shall be fixed in the position. There is no space for any piston pin retainers? The piston pins are as wide as the pistons - where shall the retainers be placed? - see pictures from left and right side of pistion #3 - All the same with the other pistons - there is no space for an retainers. The only difference is that the #3 rod is tight on piston pin #3 with remarkable friction. The other rods move without friction on the pins, but also can be pushed out of the pistons with just a little pressure....
best regards from Germany
