[SEL] Cylinder/piston questions

[Vivas1993 at aol.com]

Hi Mike,
 My buddy Leo often finds engines that have very little compression. Most of 
the time he doesn't even pull the piston out of the cylinder. He will oil the 
cylinder up really good, then belt the new toy up to his tractor. He runs the 
engine for a couple of hours, just making sure to keep plenty of oil on the 
cylinder & piston.  
 After the belted up engine has been run this way for a while, it has tons of 
compression. As far as I know, he has never had a piston built up, or a 
cylinder bored.  It might be worth a try for you to try this method, it's much 
cheaper than the other option :-)
 Good luck,
