So I did a compression check prior to starting to pull the motor, she runs cool and not bad but leaks badly and I want to do a rope seal
I found 120 in three cylinders and 100 in number 4........This cylinder was the one that the prior owner had to change the piston as it was badly seized
The walls on this cylinder are scared and look bad
I stuck a feeler gage in each cylinder and found 10 thousands total and 15 in number 2 cylinder, so im figuring 5 thousand and 7 1/2 all around piston to wall clearance
So its decision time and all opinions are greatly welcomed
I have to pull the crank obviously, I guess I could just do the seal and put it all back together or I could rebuild and hope the cylinders clean up at 80 over
Now if I was young and broke I know what id do but at my age while im still turning wrenches and enjoying it, pulling the engine a second time is not appealing
What id like to know is are those clearances acceptable and what about the compression
Thanks
