Anyone who has ever changed HG's. Pistons 1 & 4 do not reach top of cylinder.
Alright, getting ready to put back on the head gaskets and I noticed something about the cylinders #1 and number #4 (both of the front cylinders). As we turn the crank..and the piston reaches TDC, it doesn't quiet go all the way to the top. It seems that the others ones do (the rest of the pistons that is), but the front ones do not. MY dad considered this to be a possibility of a bent rod(s). Has anyone else seen or noticed this when replacing the head gaskets? Why is this? Is this normal or am I in trouble. I was hoping to get most of this put back together today so any help quickly is appreciated!! Thanks!!!
