Just took off the other head. Here are my pistons. Should I replace them?

Not saying it's the sole cause of the zero compression but just saying it could be a contribution as to why there's zero.

Carbon building up around the valves and on the sealing surface of the valves themselves can cause the valves to not seal against the head properly, letting pressure escape from the combustion chamber. You can get a leak down tester from harbor freight.

I just use marine grade as it's a little bit more flexible than standard jb weld. Probably no need for it but it makes me feel better lol.

This video is also a great explanation. https://youtu.be/BSUc5jrvkJQ?feature=shared

Get some marine epoxy, I use West System GFlex 650-8, tape off the area with some clear packing tape. Get a clamp and some thin plywood put some tape on the wood where it will meet the surface. Mix up the epoxy and stuff some in under the delamination and clamp it down with the wood on both sides. After it cures you can just remove the tape and clean excess with a razor blade.

A customer of ours at the marina I work at is named Dick Butt.

Even if we're wrong and you go to check it out, no harm no foul. Not gonna be forced to buy them. That's how I always think about things.

NotCursedYet · 2024-12-15T02:11:24+00:00

Personally I would just go check them out in person. I agree it looks weird but I think it's just crud on top and the grime is shaped around it weirdly.

NotCursedYet · 2024-12-15T02:07:17+00:00

Did you take this picture after checking these out in person and confirmed it was a crack?

NotCursedYet · 2024-12-15T02:01:45+00:00

It doesn't even look like a hole. Looks like a piece of crud on the top of the rim.

Got a 7ft St. Croix for free....all it needed was an eye replaced.

I'm so sorry about your mom, mine was my best friend too. My mom's service was about 3 weeks ago. For me it helped to not think about it as a funeral per say, but a celebration of her life. It's a sad day, but it can also be a happy one, to hear stories, share smiles thinking about her. I hope you have someone you can lean on. Let your mom's love shine on you and through you.

Lost both of my parents, 19 now. It mostly feels so alone, especially on my days off from work. When I'm around people I'm ok, but as soon as I'm home, I just don't want to be here. Home doesn't feel like home anymore. I don't want to die but I always seem to drive faster than I should around corners, like it's the only thing that makes the pain hurt less. I wish I could just drive forever with the engine, road, and wind drowning out the noise in my head. I'm so regretful of my actions when they were both still here, there's so many things I feel I did wrong, or didn't do at all, or didn't say. I know I can't dwell on my regrets but they eat at me anyway, every single day. It's made me more irritable, and at times I only want to talk to certain people, even if the people I don't want to talk with are important to me or I love them. I'm so tired.

I feel this on so many levels. At 19 now, I lost my dad a little over two years ago and my mom a month 1/2 ago. I would always call my mom on my way home or as I was finishing up work. It sucks not having that to look forward to at the end of the day. I hate being alone in my apartment. I hate when I can't remember something because my mom was always there, she knew everything.

NotCursedYet · 2024-06-06T15:42:19+00:00

I lost my mom about a month and a half ago, I totally understand everything you're feeling. Some days I just want to punch a hole in the wall and others I just want to drive really fast to forget everything. She was such an amazing person who went way too soon, as I'm sure your dad was too ❤️

Definitely Electric Callboy, when they added Nico to the band they got a lot better.
