Spoke with Andy last eve and may hook up with him sometime as he is in
NJ frequently. Tried for the past few days to contact Dave Otis and
have not head back from him, so I am guessing he is either busy or not
interested in taking on the project. Figured I will start looking at
backup plans until I hear from Dave.
My biggest fear with tearing down the motor is not messing anything up
along the way, i.e., scratching surfaces like the cylinder walls, and
also, knowing what I am looking for as far as bad parts. I don't have a
clue how to know the bearings are shot, if the crank needs to be
machined, etc... so it would be like disassembling and not knowing what
to do from there. Also don't have any special tools that may be needed
to disassemble/re-assemble. How do you get the pistons back into the
cylinders without scratching the walls, should any upgrades/mods be done
while I am in there, can the piston heads and valve stems be
de=carbonized, etc. etc. etc. Would like to venture into this but
envision a motor in pieces on the floor with no clue what to do.
What should I do? Would love to have someone experienced stay at my
house for a good week to assist in the teardown, diagnosis, repair, and
re-assembly, have offered this to Andy but not sure if he has the time
to stay here a few days or if that is enough time to do this work.
