Recently my 22r has pooped on me, i lost almost all compression on my number 2 cylinder. So ive been tearing it apart the last few days. I got down to the oil pan, so i removed it and also went ahead and removed the number 2 piston.
The top 2 rings on the piston were broken into small pieces and just fell off the piston. So im saying that was my problem definatly.
I also have a few more delima's... Before i removed any of the pistons i moved them around in their cylinders and the piston would move back and fourth,left and right, and also clockwise and counter clock-wise. Now i know the left and right ,and back and forth is most likely just cylinder wear, maybe even rings. But the clockwise and counter clockwise i ASSUMED was wristpins..
So i wiggled the piston in the clock-counter clockwise direction while i watched the rod bearing caps, and the whole rod and caps move clockwise and counter clock-wise. Its not a huge amount, but doesnt seem right. Anybody have any opinions on what the problem could be? Maybe i need new rods and crank? All 4 pistons/rods to this.
Sorry for the long post, thanks for any help in advance.
