Scored cylinder how bad before replacement?

[JJay03]

I got a quart of it at a local hardware store but homedepot sells it in the gallons. I know people use it to clean floors and such.
The old piston was wore pretty good on the sides and felt like it had a bit of side to side movement in the cylinder. The new piston fits much better so makes me feel better at least lol. Just waiting on the new plug wire to come in and I can have this thing back together.

I've cleaned a few cylinders with muriatic acid and I wore safety glasses and then a full face shield to protect my eyes. I had on latex gloves I think, but they didn't last long. I got some long Q-tips from a medical supply- that helps to keep it off your hands.

Speaking of Muriatic acid, I'm thinking about prepping a garage floor for epoxy paint. Wonder how dangerous that acid is? Anybody ever done this? Of course I'm going to wear a face shield, boots and respirator mask. Sure don't want to get over come by fumes and "burn" out my lungs. Don't know if old work boot will portect my feet or not. I could put some plastic bags over my feet first. What do you think the acid will do to pavement when I wash it out of my garage?

Why don't you do smaller sections at a time so you don't have to actually step in the acid? Another thing, keep water handy while you're doing this.

On the wrist pin 1 side is open is that suppose to go towards the exhaust?

What the hell does that have to do with the wrist pin?

Ahh damn I put it in the other way. I wonder if it really matters the parts list I show has the open end toward the exhaust it looks like.

I thought the IPL looked that way too, but I thought the solid end was out on mine so I went and looked and sure enough.....

I don't know what it will matter except maybe the carbon might get in the open end easier.
Might PM THALL and ask him.
