engine is OUT! i checked the engine all the apex seals are there. i think an apex collapsed. this was my original assumption. i can't wait to tear the sucker down. pix in a little while !

 

Your about 3 steps ahead of me...good thing too, I know right where to go w/ my questions once I start my tear down, lol.

 

You guys are slow. B)

 

Cool, ******* A man!

I spent the better part of today scraping my seals out of my housing and contemplating buying a parts washer. I have been using a bin to clean my parts in, but it kind of sucks. I think I might just bring my rotors down to the machine shop and have them dip both for me. Ah hell, I might just have them dip everything

 

You could just use whats in the parts washer, kerosene, or did you mean to let them steam clean the parts?

 

I've got a parts washer in lake stevens just up the road from you that you are welcome to use however it has no solvent in it right now as I was planning on moving it soon.



Prolly easier just to take it in and have it done.

 

whats the best for parts cleaning? i used engine degreaser and it sucks...

and would boiling the parts hurt? like the housings, manifold, etc...?? it might sound ridiculous but i'll give it a shot someday
