That, my boy, is long story.

At times that story involves Tigers, at other times its a Shark.

Sometimes it is a maniac with a sword, or it could be a chainsaw.

Sometimes its the prop of an outboard.

Sometimes its was when I was tortured by the Mafia.

 

The grandchildren do not know the truth, so neither will you.

It still looks fresh, can't they reattach it

my makita 9010, just general maintenace,

don't suppose anyone has a spare clutch cover kicking about,,,?

mine has a chunk missing

 

I'd rivet a strip of aluminium plate over it if bothered me, give it a boy racer look.

Clean the carbon off the squish band and the top of the piston and it can be removed completely. This should give another 15 - 20 psi but if measuring with a gauge, give the engine a few light turns with the starter before yanking it over hard. The mod can take out the gauge schrader valve very easily:blushing:

 

Use a high temp liguid gasket to seal the base and I personally check vac and pressure afterwards:thumbup:

 

Worth opening up the Muffler exhaust hole as well, a very easy mod to do with a dremmel:thumbup:

 

do you mean like yamabond?3bond? spud - what brand do you use? would this approach make any sense with my husky 55 when i get round to re-building it? cheers

When my No2 Pozidrive went blunt I turned it into this.

 

Anybody know why?

wild guess - something to do with valves - lifting/fitting??

[chrismechanic]

It depends on the squish it already has, you need at least 0.5mm otherwise due wear and tear may result in the piston belting the squish band.

 

The sealer needs to withstand 200 degrees plus. Blue Hylomar is fine as are many others, just look at the spec.
