All model cylinders will crack in the same place. usually the right rear corner of the transfer cut out of the cylinder skirt. This generally comes from when a piston is stuck and someone trys force the jug off the piston without watching what they are doing . WARNING: If anyone ever needs to save a cylinder that isn't yet cracked, but the piston is stuck and the bore is still low, CUT the rod in half with a sawzall. There are WAY more rebuildable rods out there, than there are usable cylinders. NEVER EVER push the stuck piston from the top, out the bottom. 99.9% of the time, you WILL crack the cylinder skirt. ALWAYS press the piston from the bottom, out the top. If your bore is still low, and the skirt is still intact, just cracked, it can be V'd & silver soldered, then bored OR The cylinder can be bored and sleeved Mutt ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- did the early 125 cylinder all crack on the bottom of the sleeve ? I have three that are all cracked, is there a fix or are they junk ? |
