Oh Bugger...#4 Piston misaligned
It looks as if the #4 piston got out of alignment with the journal. It's off about 10 degrees or so. Must have gotten twisted by the crankshaft pushing against the rod. I have tried to turn it back by hand an no luck. Any suggestions?
Re: Oh Bugger...#4 Piston misaligned
it just rotates back into position- i'd say try harder (as long as the rod isn't hitting the crankshaft.)
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!

Ok, so long as I know I am not trying to beat a dead horse. I'll keep trying to twist it back into alignment.
