[NSRCA-discussion] Engine problem

[William C. Harden]

John,

 

Oh Boy.  The head should easily have come free from the liner.  

 

If the liner isn't out of round then by heating the liner and head together
in an oven at around 250 degrees should loosen any oil (caster??) and allow
the head to be removed from the liner.  I'm sorry you have to deal with
this.  Good luck.

 

Bill

The head & cylinder are all one part on the YS91AC. I was unable to remove
the liner when the head was sent out for the helicoil. It is stuck pretty
good. I can see a cascade of problems if I try to replace that part alone.
Considering the price of a new engine I am reluctant to spend a lot on this
one!

Hopefully, someone will suggest a simple fix.

I suggest that you buy a replacement head because that is the only item you
need.  In the future, if you have a stripped glow plug thread in the head
then simply replace the head and avoid this kind of problem.  The heli coil
method works, but it is better in my opinion to have a new head.  A new head
really doesn't cost that much.

General engine problem

I have a YS91AC that runs fine but leaks fuel around the glow plug.

It appears that the plug is not square to the head casting so the 

copper gasket does not completely seal the joint. 

 

Before I take the problem to my machinist son-in-law are there 

any suggestions as to how I might resolve the problem?

 

History:

Bought engine at deep discount with damaged threads and had 

Clarence Lee install helicoil insert. The first owner was full scale 

engine mechanic so I expect the problem was from the factory.

 

New YS110 is listed at $329, new head-cylinder/sleeve about $150.

My personal threshold is not to spend more than 1/3 the price of a 

new replacement in repair parts. 

Ideas?
