    Great advice. I’ll plan to knock that out tomorrow while honing the cylinder. Thanks for the help!

    2009 MEP-803A manually cranks, but hits stop

    I have no idea how it’s possible, but the cylinder seems ok. I’ll hone it tomorrow, but it looks like the piston melted. Crazy. Ray70, can you message me direct w contact information? I’ll need piston, rings, wrist pin, clips, and 2 x push rods (both bent and was the telling sign I had a piston...

    2009 MEP-803A manually cranks, but hits stop

    Gents, I pulled the injectors, valve covers, and manifold. No real substantial water in any location. Injectors we’re a little wet, but no rusting anywhere.

    2009 MEP-803A manually cranks, but hits stop

    Thanks for the reply. I was also thinking I may have water in a cylinder and it’s hydro locking. It’s free as a jaybird with what I would consider consistent compression until what feels like 3 solid rotations around on the fan socket. I may pull the injectors tomorrow and cycle to see if I get...

    2009 MEP-803A manually cranks, but hits stop

    I just purchased an 2009 MEP-803A. I rolled the dice and bought a model that wasn’t test run bc it was missing a couple fuses. When I picked it up it was also missing the exhaust flap..unknown for how long. I’ve manually turned the motor over via the fan bolt with a socket. It moves smoothly for...
