Re: 6r74c missing parts ??

[JACQUES]

update…..
well I pulled the cyl head this morning

All bolts incl thermostat’s came out fine (no breaks) …

both cyl cavities looked fairly good (no scratches to speak of ) but showed a surface rust track about 1/8 wide at 2 o’clock on both walls .(from piston edge to cyl head gasket)

..no good probably 😉

tried moderate hammer and wooden peg blows to loosen them… no luck yet

both piston have their inlet/outlet ports closed (strange… that was also the case on my nice 9.5hp I loosen up 2 years ago)

I laid them up & horizontally and added some juice to soak both pistons for a few days

question… the thermostat came out ok along with a small circular metal disk and spring (one piece) about 1/2 inch long . is this part normally loosely fitted on the therm. body central pin on top ??

I hope that surface rust is limited to cyl walls . I,ll peek inside when I pull carb & reeds
