That piston is screwed! Worn out bad
Thought I would check here first before I do it. In order to get the bearings out of my cases I was gonna throw them in the oven and let them drop out. Whatcha all think.
Either that or heat with a MAPP or propane torch.
The oven will work really well. My experience is that in a 350 degree oven, after a few minutes you'll hear a thunk as the bearing just falls out under its own weight. Now, if your case isn't degreased and very clean, you'll catch heck from anyone else in the house... I have an old (free) craigslist oven in my garage for this and many other purposes.

It's what's for dinner LOL. Funny this buck came right up to us. I think someone has been feeding it. I also got a video of it going into my lean to. The sumbich was gonna hop on my trike. I'll post a video of it if I can. Anyways the two bearings that I suspected are bad, are the two that won't drop out. One dropped out after about 3 min. at 325*. Bumped it up to 350* and they still wouldn't come out. Done for the evening, and try again this weekend.
Maybe give it a few taps?

I got a few more parts today. Still need one more bearing though. My local bearing had all but the 32mm x 35mm . The one for the left crankcase mainshaft. It is one I have not got out yet, and is upside down in the case so I can't read the numbers on the race. Crankshaft ready, top end bored and ready . Wesco piston ready, but I'm gonna have to take a little break for this.I drew a once in a lifetime Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep tag. Hells yah. Been doing a lot of hiking to get in shape. Will be hunting at 7-10000 feet. Climbed to the top of local ski area. Going to try for high as we can go on Mt Hood.

Update:
Back to the real world. I'm fricken exhausted. 4" of snow on our last night on our pack in weekend over labor day weekend. Ram killed September 13th. Hell of steep country. I still need a little break on the x though. I will post some more photos and videos of the hunt in the open forum. Sorry for getting off topic. " Once in a lifetime ". Kind of like some of the builds on this site. Thanks for your patience.![]()
That is one nice ram. Congratulations. Full body mount?
No, a pedistal mount like the one above. I'll put some more pictures up in the open forum. But this ram was shot before, possibly by a poacher, or another tag holder from a previous season . His other horn was hit by a bullet, I was told by the local biologist. Thanks for looking.
