Well not  as disasterous, but more serious.  I took the cylinders/pistons
out to  extract the broken stud and found a broken ring on one side and a
huge  crack in the sleeve near the bottom of the stroke that went nearly
all the  way round.  I am stuck now.  I haven't the 400-500 bucks for  a
piston/cyl kit.  Any ideas?



Hi Brendan
I think the reason the liner is cracked is from taking that one stud out
before removing the liner.
The threads do not clear the liner and it probably was pushing on the side
of it as you turned it past it.

I don't remember was yours a 1.9 or 2.1?

I have my "spare"  set of 1.9's I will sell you for $100 plus  shipping.  I
will need to pull them and make sure they are ok first  though.
Did you end up getting all the studs you need?
