I’ve not posted here in ages…too busy building a new shop and other stuff. Anyway, #5 piston grenaded a few days ago…pulled head and dropped oilpan. Pieces in pan and sparkplug was flattened, but NO damage to the head itself. Light scratches to cylinder wall…but surprisingly little real damage. I don’t farm, but use my baby for maintaining my quarter-mile lane and some landscaping and mowing around the 50 acre homeplace. My questions… 1. Can I simply buy one new piston/rings, pin & rod/bearings, slap her back together and go? 2. If so…do I need to do anything to the cylinder? Hone out 2-3 scratches. 3. Assuming new head, valve cover, exhaust manifold and pan gaskets. Anything else I’m forgetting? 4. Any particularly good place on the net to buy these parts that you’d recommend? I appreciate any words of wisdom here. I need to get her back running, but I really can’t afford or justify a total rebuild. I’ve spend several years reading all the stuff you folks post. I’m no mechanic (but a good wood-butcher) but I’ve got just enough skills to tear this thing apart. Hopefully, I’ve enough to get her back together. I’ll wait to see what you with infinitely more knowledge have to say about this. Thanks in advance for any advice.

In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
