    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING A PISTON AND THE CYLINDER LOWER END IS GOOD AND STUCK ON. NOW ON MY OLD HONDAS THERE IS A NICE NOTCH ON THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR UNDER THE CYLINDER BANK WHICH LETS YOU PRY THAT IT UP. NOW NOT WANTING TO CRAM A WEDGE OF SOME SORT UNDER THERE (SCREW DRIVER) AND DAMAGE THE SURFACES I AM AT A BIT OF A MENTAL LOSS. I'VE BEAT ON IT WITH MY OL RUBBER MALLET WITH OUTTOO MUCH SUCESS. ANY OTHER ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFUL.
THANKS, JIM
 
WE ARE NOT DEAF, STOP YELLING! :lol:

Keep hitting it with a rubber or nylon hammer, especially around the studs, it WILL let loose, took a while on my 1150 engine too, whatever you do don't pry, even if you are desperate.
 
Oh, and if you DO happen to be a dolt and break a fin off, Crazy Glue works great to glue it back on. Don't ask me how I know...... :oops:

I usally dont tell others about this in case they flob it, but if you look at the back of the cylinder you will see there is a vertical casting that reinforces the fins, if you take a paint stir stick and cut it in half put one piece on the case at the base of the cylinder and the other half against the cylinder right at the vertical brace, flat side against the fin casting, and slip a pry bar between the sticks and lift up easy like it should come off with no damage and no pounding on the part, but be sure that the prying force is right under that vertical brace casting between the fins this part is very important, and an easy up and down prying is much better than just prying up
