Hi all, I am in the process of rebuilding my force motor. I have read forums on how to get the motor out and have been succesful. I do have repair manual as referance also.This will be my first overhaul. I now have the motor broke down( pistons and crankshaft pulled). The source of my whole problem is a ring broke on piston 2 and got caught on the exaust and bent the edge of the piston.I dont see or feel a grove in the block however will take to a machine shop to see. Also want them to check "out of round". Allthough, as i pulled the other pistons out i noticed # 1 also has a broken ring. My question is: Is this common and what would cause this to happen? I dont want to repair and have the situation arrise agian. Also, will keep everyone posted on my progress these forums are helpfull. thanks all, nick
