[QUOTE="bobcatzack, post: 123386, member: 22200"] Hi Pete, those are incredibly encouraging words!! Sometimes I start thinking to myself that I may have gotten this far by chance, and if I try to proceed any further (I.e. messing with pistons/crankshaft etc) I might begin to cause more harm than good, and might come to a point where there might not any turning back to where things were (at the least, the Bobcat used to crank and start!). On top of that, any machine shop I am calling in the area are backed up on engine repair work for about 2 months. In any case, with these encouraging words, I will be attempting to hang the engine up on 750lb pully system I installed on the garage ceiling (pic attached below) then try to get fitted onto an engine stand that I bought on amazon. If successful on the stand, attempt to rotate it and remove the oil pan. Then see if I would be able to remove the pistons without disturbing the crankshaft assembly. I will then try to get the engine block and the head into my van and drive to a mechanic who is willing to inspect the cylinders for damage, and as well suggest any fix (such as honing etc). (Btw thanks for the fuel filter/fuel pump correction!) [/QUOTE]
