Did a compression test on the 22r and I got 100psi-100psi-75psi-75psi so I dissembled her to find? [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

 

Are you missing two whole rings on the 75 PSI pistons?

 

2 pistons with the top ring missing, the bottom pic is a illusion.

 

it looks like they were never installed.

i don't see how they got past the top flange without damaging it??

 

I have no idea man. Head has no damage cylinder walls are normal wear. You would think it should of grenaded , but there the peaces of ring still in the grove.

 

wierd...

one time i put a used/mystery motor in my truck. p.s. i will never try another mystery motor lol. and it had a knock, so i pulled the pan off and started pulling rod caps. only to find that number 3 rod had no bearing in it, completely gone. i was like wtf?... Ive seen them spun and in pretty bad shape, but never gone.


so you just gonna hone and re-ring it? or do a complete build?

 

Still held 75 psi with just the oil wiper though? Impressive!

 

I will complete re-build her and for "tc" Two pistons with two rings and two pistons with three rings, 3 rings is normal.

 

sweet, check out the link in my sig. they sell good parts for a good price.

 

real nice stuff....

 

god damn that site is horny

 

its a pretty good site.

 

I had the same thing happen to me too, with an old 5M-E.


I vote re-hone and re-ring.

 

im was looking at that 22re's site, his engine rebuilt kit for a 87 22re says
"timing belt(not chain)"

you can put a belt in?

 

i think it says timing belt or chain.

i never searched under the year, i just click the 22re link on the side of the home page.


edit.. ok i see it... wierd, i think its a typo. becouse there is no belt for the 22re lol.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking hmmm werid

 

HAHHAHAHA i found a bunch of peaces of ring all over the ground today so ya my bad boys. Must of sprung out when i was pushing them up from under the truck.

 

ahh... i was thinking that was the case.


because there is no way it would get past that top flange without damaging it.
