If just one cylinder is out and the others are good,can I replace the piston ,rings ,seals and gaskets without disassembling the entire head? Or am I just dreaming it to be that easy? Please help me out with any knowledgable suggestions.

Hi, Fenceman.<br /><br />Some folks would do that. I wouldn't.<br /><br />What causes you to say a cyl. is "out"? What are the compression numbers?<br /><br />Let us know.

The compression on the other three cylinders is 115psi

As my first post reads "The #1 cylinder is out" in other words has zero,zilp,no compression what so ever.

Zero compression is a very bad sign, Fenceman. Before going any farther, you nee to pull that head and find out what happened and what it would take to fix it.<br /><br />I would say it is very unlikely that you can overhaul just one cylinder without a complete teardown. With a complete teardown it makes sense to overhaul the whole powerhead.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
