Side housings step wear, Am I doing this right?
So I picked up 2 used engines and started my Inspection. I tore both motors down and found similar issues between the 2. One engine was a 90psi per face engine and the other was 30 to 60 but no dead spots. The rougher engine cleaned up alot nicer both interior and exterior this far. The problem I'm finding is the line the side seal creates on the spark plug side. It creates a groove which can be seen and felt. People mention if its "nail catching " then replace or rework. Not sure what nail catching is as we all are different. The manual states a maximum depth of .0039 in. A straight edge like an metal ruler reveals nothing but how the hell do you jab a feeler gauge into that? The next method I'm using which is giving me results is using a magnetic base with a dial gauge. I zero it on the shoulder (greatest amount of untouched material) and slowly pivot the base with the magnet turned off. Does thos sound right? If so the groove only specs out at .001 to .0015 deep. Numbers say it's good but am I doing this right? Will post pics to follow.
