The I took the top off. Hmmm, doesn't look too bad... Barrel nuts off, and lift... No. Heave... No. Whack with a hammer... No. Oh dear, this feels bad.
Get bigger hammer and put screwdriver in barrel handle first, then whack end of screwdriver until you sweat... ooh, a minute movement! Continue until the barrel will twist, and then graunch it off.
Oh dear, looks uuuugly. Batter the pistonpin out, and remove the piston. Crank looks okay, let's give it a whirl... Oh. It's stopped. Er, what's that bit doing in there? Ah, it's a broken off piece of piston skirt.
Ah well, that'll be a crankcase split needed then. Guess it's not gonna be ready for the weekend!
What a perfect excuse to get the dremel out and clean up the cast marks and transfer ports. There's always a bright side eh?
