Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / January 2006Engine problems. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
My engine got it's 1-way dirty so I had to open up the engine to clean it out. That wasn't a problem but now that I've put it back together, the piston is stuck at top centre. It can't move AT ALL, even the flywheel can't be turned. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!! Thanks :-) > My engine got it's 1-way dirty so I had to open up the engine to clean > it out.

Why the hell did you pull the motor apart to clean the one-way? Methinks there is more to this story..............

Ever see a Kyosho GS-11? ;) >> The one-way is on the outside of the engine friend. > > Ever see a Kyosho GS-11? ;) Why don't you just stay over in alt.trucks.chevy with your Blazer! <g> How ya' been bud? Doc > Why don't you just stay over in alt.trucks.chevy with your Blazer! <g> So this is where you've been spending all of your time. Aren't you supposed to be helping us hold our rustbuckets together? ;) Yeah about that.... Jimmy (C'mon man!) has sorta been replaced with an ugh... Jeep. It had to happen, Jimmy was rusting out around me. I miss the low end torque of that 4.3L but LOVE the powerband of this 5.2L Grand Cherokee. Sure is thirsty though. > How ya' been bud? Not too bad... New house, new (to me) truck, new floors in the GTA, same ol' job... Finally have some time to fire up the R/Cs. After cleaning out the dried up ATF (after-run oil) from the carbs my Rampage and NMT fired up and settled into a nice idle for the first time in over two years. Now all we need is a little warmer weather. Bloody cold today. Looks like you've picked up the nitro bug pretty quickly. Expensive little runts aren't they? What are you running these days? Fullsize and R/C. ;) Inline................. >> Why don't you just stay over in alt.trucks.chevy with your Blazer! <g> > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > 4.3L but LOVE the powerband of this 5.2L Grand Cherokee. Sure is thirsty > though. I'll be following suit shortly as ol' blue is starting to rust (again) in places I've already cut-out and replaced! Drivetrain shows no signs of wear after 187,xxx miles (differential bearings did puke a few months back though!) so I'm gunna drive her till she falls apart on me. I'll give her 2 more years on the street with regular use, then retire her and maybe rebuild/restore once I get a new truck. I'm really keen on the 1500HD's these days........... Can't beat the power and sound of an 8. Everything comes with a price.............you've gotta be paying close to a buck a liter up there huh? >> How ya' been bud? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Looks like you've picked up the nitro bug pretty quickly. Expensive little > runts aren't they? What are you running these days? Fullsize and R/C. ;) Yes indeed, they do make a dent in the bank account rather quickly! I have two nitros, an HPI Savage and a Sportwerks Mayhem ST in the 1/8 department. In the 1:1 department I'm still driving ol' blue, 88' GMC C1500, 305/TH400. I must admit, as much as I like wrenching 1:1 stuff, there is something to be said for "wrenching" 1/8 stuff on the workbench whilst sitting on your duff drinking a beer. Rampage is a Kyosho 1/10 buggy right? I'm guessing NMT is Nitro Monster Truck (HPI)? I've sent you an e-mail with some pics of my toys........

I got a good five years out of it. The engine was strong, the tranny was fantastic, etc... Towards the end it started stalling for no good reason on the freeway. He just had enough... I donated it to a college for an offroading project. Last I heard it's stripped down to the frame with a 350 between the rails. > Can't beat the power and sound of an 8.

After that damn hurricane hit it spiked up to over $1.30 a litre at one point. Who would've though that $.90 would ever be considered low. <shrug> The eight is worth every penny though. It feels stronger than the 305 in my T/A. > > Looks like you've picked up the nitro bug pretty quickly. Expensive little > > runts aren't they? What are you running these days?

I'd kinda gone off the small scale stuff once I started with the real things. Since I won't be spending every weekend under the Jimmy I'll have a little more time on my hands. > Rampage is a Kyosho 1/10 buggy right? I'm guessing NMT is Nitro Monster > Truck (HPI)? I've sent you an e-mail with some pics of my toys........ Yep, the Rampage is the old-school Kyosho buggy. Mine's the ZR-1 'vette version. Rwd, inline mid-engine, I love that chassis. The NMT is the HPI truck. I think my only mods were Masher 2000s and a bigger clutch bell. An amazing truck. I've also got a Kyosho Nitro Crusher that I never bothered finishing up, and a fleet of electrics. How's the Savage treating you? I've missed quite a bit being out of the loop for a couple of years, I'm not even sure what the Savage chassis looks like. Did Tamiya ever get off their a.ses and reissue the Bruiser chassis again? Sorry man, the e-mail bounced. Sympatico has around a 3MB limit I believe. > Yep, the Rampage is the old-school Kyosho buggy. Mine's the ZR-1 'vette > version.

You wanna get yourself a Savage dude ;-) Get a new Savage X and tell us all if it's any good :-). Welcome back to the bug... This looks like a good excuse for me to post some truck pics! http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/Sav_latest_1.jpg http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/Sav_latest_3.jpg http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/rc_hcr_group1.jpg http://www.danontherun.com/rccar_files/rc_hcr_group3.jpg  SignatureDan >> Yep, the Rampage is the old-school Kyosho buggy.

Awfully dirty. <g> Doc Before you try to turn the engine any more remove both the exhaust and head (heatsink and button). Have a good look inside and see if anything is jammed between the piston and liner by looking down into the engine from on top and into the exhaust port, also remove the backplate and check the condition of the rear bearing and for any debris around the bottom of the engine. If all clear then dribble some fuel above and below the piston to lubricate it, leave the head, exhaust and backplate off then using a pair of plumbers pliers on the flywheel turn it gently AWAY from TDC. Pull the liner out and have a good look down the sides for any scratches or lips on the top or bottom of the aluminium piston. Replace anything that appears to have been damaged and give the engine a good clean to remove anything that might have go into it and caused the damage. Chris I think he may have put the oneway in backwards, and the pull-start/rotostart wont move, so he thinks the piston is stuck. |
