The top of the pistons are a bit grungy.
But the cylinders don't look too bad - no serious rust or pitting, although there is some small pits that really shouldn't be there.
Another thing I think I've learned about engines - it's amazing what they can deal with and still run. I polished up the cylinders and didn't worry about it. My goal is not to race the car or even show it.
I'm just hoping to drive it around town as a "second car."
Yes, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN to leave well enough alone.
I tore the engine apart in January of 2113. I cleaned and scraped all the parts. I had all the new gaskets and seals and was ready to go.
But . . . . I had to take a look at the rings. But when getting one off, it went PING and broke. That made me happy.
I covered everything with old sheets and ordered $70 of new rings. At least I could get them. But I wouldn't be back until April - it will have to wait.
