What's to keep the cylinder from pulling out of the case? -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Blue Eyes Sent: Sunday, February 07, 1999 8:44 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Stuck cylinder (Head gasket replacement)
While I've never encountered that problem of stuck cylinder head gaskets to the extent described here, I'm wondering if one of the cylinders is being brought up to top dead center with the valves closed, and then pressurized to say 200 pounds per square inch with air pressure applied through a spark plug screw-in pneumatic connector, just as a method of adding a little "convincing" helpful parting pressure. I assure you'd do something as obvious as that, but maybe my thinking is showing itself to be "different" again. Just a thought ~ John |
