[QUOTE="pidjones, post: 89298, member: 3026"] Pretty much finished (or grew tired of) #1 cyclinder, so I cleaned it well, flushed the ring area with copious amounts of carb cleaner (need to get more tomorrow) and sprayed it with lithium grease. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC06779b.jpg"]6441._xfImport[/ATTACH] Tried to get the Dowel Pin out of the block, and it doesn't want to play. The one that stayed in the head came out easy enough. Moved to #1 at DTC, and started on #2: [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC06776b.jpg"]6440._xfImport[/ATTACH] The razor really gets into this buildup, whatever it is: [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC06784b.jpg"]6442._xfImport[/ATTACH] It leaves the surface fairly nice, without removing metal: [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC06785b.jpg"]6443._xfImport[/ATTACH] I don't like the erosion on the head. The sleeves in the engine seem to be just slightly uneven with the aluminum water jacket. I need to study head gasket designs, but I think the aluminum inner ring on the gasket is supposed to crush and seal with the cylinder sleeve.
