I am trying to get my engine back in working order. It lost compression suddenly, and stopped. The piston and the wet sleeve look in good condition. Can I simply change the piston rings and then put it back together, or should I also change the sleeve and piston at the same time, despite the fact that they do look in good nick?
Any ideas welcome. |

Check your valves. Chances are the piston and rings did not suddenly wear or break. One of your valves may have stuck open or have carboned up on the seat. |

Depends on what you need to renew/replace.
I ended up having to replace my silencer -£330. The gaskets and piston rings came to another £300.
The oil is removed from the sump filler with a suction pump. There isn't a drain plug on mine, so probably not on yours either.
You'll need to replace all the gaskets you disturb, and then check on the viability of all the parts you remove.
Good luck.

HI all,
Have been working on my daughters boat today and have run into trouble!!! changed the fuel filter following the boat running oyt of diesel, after bleeding and much cranking she finally fired up. Left her for 45 mins to get a temp transmiter from local motor spares shop and fitted. Restarted the engine and forgot to open the fuel cock ran out of diesel, bled again, fuel through the filter up to the injecter and along the spill pipe, took the injector apart to check for poss blockages, clear. refitted tried again no start removed head checked gasket paraffin test on valve seats, piston and liner looked if fair to good condition anealed and refitted still no start. Fuel was added from a canal side pump, is the Saab sigle pot model G suseptable to poor fuel? is there something I should know about this particular engine if not I am hopeing that it is poor fuel. Your thoughts please.
Mac fron Cannock.
This engine always takes an age to start, 30+ seconds cranking |

Starting a Sabb 2H
Brendan- the 30 sec. crank can be shortened by squirting some 10W oil or WD40 in to the hole for the "glow plug", Crank about 3-5 sec, close the compression release and it will start in about 3 seconds
