262 rebuild

[Dub11]

.... for sanding the BASE .... the BASE ....

..... it's just too damned early in the week to be awake ...

I figured thats what you were saying and brilliant idea. But if you can cut round glass from home you are truly badass

But I DO remember a builder video (Tree Monkey) where they used a mandrel the size of the cylinder with self-stick sandpaper to cut the squish band ...

I seen that too.

I saw the video as well, took it off and on a bunch of times till he got it just right, very cool indeed, shame you would need so many mandrels though.

If you do a lot of the same saws, make a mandrel. Or do this

Or....take that same setup. ...invert it. Put the cylinder on the bench...piston with sandpaper and wrist pin in cylinder. ...then use a drill with a Husky 350 clutch adapter to grab the wrist pin...and spin

I wish I knew someone that cut round glass. After testing the compression on my 262 the other night I stepped on the guage and broke the glass![emoji22] [emoji36]

Dan check with a hardware store that cuts glass for houses, they should be able to do it for you

This cylinder had bad transfer, I was finishing cleaning that up and the plating peeled a little below the exhaust port. Do you think it's okay to run it?

 

[Johnmn]

Would like anyones opinion but maybe @Mastermind, @tree monkey or @jmssaws can chime in? I'm gonna say run it but let me know

I'd run it on my personal saw.

Thanks that's what I thought but sometimes it nice to have a second or third opinion

What size bar can't decide between 18 and 20? Working on my 40,60,80cc plan with multiples of each was thinking either 16,18,20 or 16,20,24 lots of hardwood here.

I'd go 16, 20, 28. I like the 40, 60, 80 plan... here's my 242xp, 262xp, and 288xp.

I'd use it too. What did you wind up doing to the jug?

What's the squish you arrived at?

I'd get a cylinder brake hone and hone the jug with some oil and the hone. Then wipe clean and do again with scotchbrite.

I've found that those rough sanding lines in the plating will tear up a piston skirt rather quickly.

What grit stones are you using Al?

Haven't done anything yet, parts should be arriving this week. I will degree the cylinder this week and post what I find and I'll go from there
