So, I just finish turning my piston down, polishing it, now it's time to lap the two together.
Load it up with toothpaste and put the piston in the lathe spinning really slow (I wanted my valve grinding compound, but couldn't find it).
Turn on...lapping...lapping...lap...NO...NO...NO
The cylinder sucked the piston in and it is officially seized. Can barely turn it with an 8" crescent. I have it in the freezer right now hoping I can get the piston cooled enough so that when I hit the cylinder with a little heat really quick, they'll pop apart...but it's not likely.
That's a waste of a morning.
oh well
