<DIV>Try paint stripper. There used to be a product called ZBest engine cleaner,
which was nothing more than repackaged paint stripper. This is the gelled type
of stripper that contains methylene chloride. It will remove all the
varnish and goo in a few minutes.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I don't know about that motor, but on many motors you have to
remove the sleeve so you can get the piston/con rod assembly to move enough
toward the back of the motor to get the con rod off the crankshaft.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone replaced the bearings in their OS
120 Ax? What's the trick? I've done plenty of bearings but this one is
different. After removing everything, including the sleeve, I can't slide
the rod far enough back to get it off the crankpin. The pin boss in the
piston is too narrow to allow the rod to slide far enough. If anyone has
done this already I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks!</FONT></DIV>
