Nice work Scott, enjoyed the pictures. Was the mag in bad shape? That's a different check valve than I'm used to seeing on Cailles. We'll be looking for it at Calvert. J.B. |

Very nice work, thanks for posting. What is the HP and bore and stroke? Pushing the piston inward would scare the #^@% out of me though - in case it went too far, never to return! |

thanks guys after cleaning the mud wasps out of the mag. I just used a soft brass brush and wd-40. The first time I triped it I got a blue spark. I'm still fussing with timing. The check valve spring was shot but I think I have the right one. After popping the piston out of the cyclinder with the grease gun 7 tubes. I only pressed in the same amount as it came out. It has a 5 1/4" bore and 5" stroke.  |

I didn't realize it was that big, must be an 8hp. First marine engine I sleeved was a 6hp Caille, 4 1/2" bore. Did you weigh the piston, guessing 10-12lbs.I wouldn't use the grease gun untill it was broken loose, a friend split the cylinder that way. When using the grease method, you can fill the cylinder with oil or water to fill the void, saves grease and mess. |
