Another 169 redo
I got this 169 in the summer of 2015 not running. Owner said he went to start it, it popped off, backed fired, and died. It would not restart. He said it was seized.
So I finally did some investigating, I got the motor out. I removed the pan and checked the balance gears all were good. Then removed the flywheel checked for a mouse nest, no issue found there either. Then I removed the head and found that the PO had left the the spark plug off and put side at that. Now the piston is seized. I sprayed some blaster around the piston, loosened it up and remove it.
Though did be able to save it but, after bonding it out and still being able to catch my finger nail on it, is not going to work. Looks like an over haul to the engine is required.
Pics to come
