Cheap fix

Since the Mark III engine was stuck, my fear was that the cylinder had been flooded with water and was a complete rust-disaster. At least the air filter was full of water...

Guess what, the rust was not that bad even if it is very worn and has some damages, it probably could be made to work. Only had to spray with penetrating oil and wait a couple of minutes to free the piston.



After some light grinding with 400 grit wet sand paper soaked with WD-40 (oil), the damages are clearly visible.


Annealed copper cylinder head gasket lightly sanded.
