[QUOTE="140mower, post: 3914, member: 447"] I'm pretty sure the last engine I did was pretty clean when I put it together, but there is a surpising amount of initial wear during break-in, especially in the rings/bore area. Completely normal in a new/rebuilt engine, thats actually why I've been told not to run synthetic oils during break-in as it doesn't allow the rings to seat properly into the bore because it's too slippery. What's the next engine you're rebuilding going into? Is it gas or diesel? Sounds like some quality shop time in your near future.[IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-2.gif[/IMG](unless it was an unexpected malfunction[IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-9.gif[/IMG]) I've only rebuilt a couple of engines so far, but enjoyed working on ones I've done, it's kind of nice holding a wrench in your hand during re-assembly and still being clean aside from oily hands when you're done. Too bad it doesn't fit the pocket book to do it too often(hope the bobcat and my trucks are paying attention here[IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-5.gif[/IMG]) Keep us posted and throw in a few pic's as things progress.
