Hey Charlie, glad you replied back <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
All I could do is wait, wonder & worry <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />!Woooooeeee I didn't do a thing after taking the pics,so the scoring part of the #1 piston is nothing to get freaked out about <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />I was thinking like a wet 600 grit with a crosshatch pattern sanding should do the job "YA NO YA"? Or do you have something to suggest better <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />The block didn't take much to turn over when I got the truck, but when I pulled the plugs out they had signs of rust. It definitely still had water & antifreeze when I drained the oil , about three or four cups full before the oil started coming out after from the drain plug <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />.
I did have the piston soaking in gas over night.I'll try some more penetrating oil & heat up the back side of piston around the pin to draw in the oil.Like you said, if it'll work I guess we'll see?Hope & pray ...hope & pray. Would this cause a piston knock if it did loosen up to much? What is binding that piston (making it stiffer than the others) ? Carbon or aluminum from the piston pin bore attaching itself to the pin? The pin on that side from underneath through the oil hole has a blue ting to it (heat) But no aluminum sighting.Thanks again
