A stripped screw for a head don't sound good. I don't know if you can fix it. You would need to get all the screws to hold the head down for it to work properly.

yep - and if you get all the screws tight - and you can spin the flywheel easily by hand - then the compression is not good - also - it will loose all low end grunt - if its got no compression - you either need a new piston and sleeve - or a new motor - sorry to be the bearer of bad news..

That is a problem hotncold. I don't think he can tighten all the screws up. He has some stripped. I don't know what you do to that. You may get a heli put in it. Get the stripped threads fixed.

Thats a tough one - if possible - retap and resize screws - thats about the only thing i can think of - is the motor very $$$$ - if not - it may not be worth it - also - if 2 of the screws are able to be tightened - then i think that if it is still easily spun ( flywheel ) then she is still shot - stripped screws or not -

No, he got out the stripped screws, he just didnt want to run with them in there..

Mike.L · 02.17.2006, 11:28 AM

ya if i replaced all four you it be alright?
like when you plug start it you hear a hiss like its escapeing..beacuse they are not screwed back in properly....so if i take all four screws out and replace em and screw in the good / new ones tightly it should be fine?

coolhandcountry · 02.17.2006, 01:18 PM

Oh! I thought you stripped the block part. I would put all four back in it and tighten down properly. Then check the compression. It is not going to seal if no tight. Have to do that and try it let us know how it goes.

yup
im just waiting in for some stainless steal srews..its coming with evry screw for my truck so once that comes in ill info all you into whats wrong...
im so glad its nothing else but the screw head.:D its nothing to do with the piston and the piston sleeve because it was running perfectly the other day so..im glad its all good now!

Mike.L · 02.17.2006, 05:12 PM
