Rebuilding 580C cylinders

samedi 27 août 2016

Tore into the stabilizer cylinders and they are not going to let me get off easy. The rod is bent and needs replaced. Also, it scuffed up the piston and barrel, but I think I can get it honed out. What is the maximum it can be honed out without going to big?

The other cylinder is in good shape except for a dent in the barrel( smaller that a quarter in size). It's not damaging the piston, but you can see and feel it. How can the dent be removed? I was thinking about turning a round plug a few thousands smaller than the bore, heating the spot up with a torch and pressing the plug past the dent. Bad idea or any other suggestions? It's around 16 inches down in the bore and would be hard to get to with a die grinder.

Also, how come none of the cylinders have a static o-ring seal between the piston bore and rod? Even with a lot of torque wouldn't oil get past these two mating surfaces?

Thanks,
Steve
