 |
|
This maybe a little premature but where would I get a piston and rings for the M-14P?
Doing a compression check today I've found my #9 cylinder well below the 10% of the average of the other cylinder. I plan to check the oil filter for excessive metal. Right now I just have the low compression on the gage and lots of noise coming out the breather. Last year I did a ring job on the same cylinder which fixed it back than, but I'm back in the same spot again.
If I'm lucky tomorrow and the filter doesn't show anything major, I'm figuring I have a piston with worn lands.

Pappy......check your valve clearance on the intake side, bet you have too little clearance.

Oh dear! To late to do that. I've already taken the cylinder off and I'm looking for rings. I don't know why I didn't think of checking that first.
Maybe next time I'll do the valve clearance checks before doing the compression check.
Thanks
Pappy

Pappy,
Checking the valve clearances first is always a good idea .
That said , I think you are on the right track .
Leaking intake valves are usually heard through the intake side . Ie the carb . Exhaust valves leaks are heard through the exhaust pipes .
Air going by the pistons or rings are heard through the breather. I could be mistaken .
