If these rods are easy to bend they’re sure not easy to bend back. I’ve had the cylinder all the way off the studs the piston all the way extended and put a lot of weight on the cylinder and smacked it with a rubber mallet… increasingly several times. The last time I managed to get the line drawn on the piston to move a little more towards the top as shown in the picture. There is bound to be something else going on with it I can’t figure it out. I have another crankcase and rods for this motor that’ll I’ll probably end up trying to use. But I believe I’ll take off tomorrow and just see if I can’t get it to rub on the other side 😀
