Well I've been working on my ugly 394 project trying to make a running saw out of it. It had a tree fall on it which is what caused it to be tossed into the junk pile.
Well along comes me and I snatched it up because it was super cheap. Well upon a thorough inspection (not thorough enough) I decided that it would live again with a few plastic parts, muffler and the likes. Piston looks great, no scoring whatsoever.
Pop out the crank seals and bearings are gritty and gross. So now I'm splitting it, no biggie, I pull the jug to find this.......
It was not visible through either of the ports and if you look carefully at the top of the screwed up part of the piston it is cracked.
The jug is also cracked at the base and it's cracked around the outside right along where the base of the jug meets the circular portion.
I thought it was a screwdriver piston stop kind of deal but it's not in the port, it's next to the port.
And you can tell it was rubbing when it was running so I can't imagine it being the tree that did it.
What do yall think?
