I just bought this engine yesterday. My dad did a compression check on all the cylinders and all had 120psi except number 3 which was 60psi. So he thought no big deal replace that piston and good to go. Well we just took it apart and I now need to replace three pistons one is cracked one is burnt and the other number 3 is really burnt up. The pistons that came out of the engine are 3 ring pistons. And when i put the model number in on the internet to buy new pistons they are only 2 ring pistons. Did they just switch to 2 rings??
I have a couple of questions for you guys/girls on here.
1. Will the 2 ring pistons work?
2. What caused the pistons to burn up like they are in the picture my dad thinks it might be the timing.
3. 4 of the pistons have notches on them and 2 do not. My dad thinks that it has been rebuilt before.
4. What all do I need to buy? I need a shopping list. I am a broke college student trying to get out as cheap as possible but I do not what to cheap out on the engine so what ever needs to be done needs to be done.
P.S. if you need anymore information just ask.
Thanks,
