Hi,

Took the head off my s2 erst today but I'm unsure on a couple of things.

Firstly, what do you use to clean the top of the block and pistons to get all the crap off, my mate who is a mechanic said WD40 & emery paper, is this correct ?

Secondly, when we were looking at the block we noticed that a waterway had been blocked off, its the one on the left hand side next to piston no1 at the front of the block, anyone know why

cheers, Duncan

that one is always blocked off matey dont worry about it i wouldnt clean the pistons though as the carbon on them forms a seal just use wet and dry on block just put rags on pistons stop shit gettin down

cheers for that mate, least I know now its supposed to be like that !

What do you mean when you say the carbon forms a seal , seal against what ?

We have allready cleaned the top of piston 1, my mate said all you do is turn the crank to lower the piston and then wipe away from inside the bore all the WD40 etc that has leaked down, this should be ok shouldn't it
