I'm needing to know how to go about pulling pistons. I'm having to break down my motor now in my SLTX (if Tech support will let me post the pics I'll show everyone what happens when a mechanic absolutely screws you... [img]/graemlins/angryfire.gif[/img] ). Anyways, I've got the cylinders off and everything else. All that is left is the crank, crankcase, and pistons. I need to know the most effective way to remove the pistons (and any special tools if I need them) to get them off. This really, really sucks but I appreciate any help I can get in trying to make this right...
Thanks a bunch. This is my first full engine break down so I'm learning.
All these photos are of what I was told was an absolutely brand new engine. From the moment I got it back it didn't run right. I ran it for maybe 2 hours after getting it back. It smoked terrible and struggled to get on plane. I checked the plugs and the rear didn't look like it was firing. I checked compression, 125 front, 120 middle, 0 rear. I started pulling apart and what's below is waht i found. Again remember all these photos are of a "new" engine that only saw fresh water for a few hours...
Shots of the rear (#3) cylinder)
Domes installed incorrectly (the exhaust port is up in this photo and the dome is not right as you can see).
Fried Piston (#3)
Exhaust side
Intake side
"New" domes (look at all the corrossion)
Domes: (far left is #3, middle #2, right #1)
There was no damage to the cylinder or piston in number 2 but look at the dome
