Be very careful make sure it is set deep in socket. or you can strip them.

Let me look I may have a good piston for the 670. Give me a call If you don't want to mess with it.

Shopped at Ace hardware for a 'T' handle but a set of metric is 25+. Wait till the streets are cleared of snow before I venture to Sears.

New pistons w/rings on evilbay run 30-45 USD, so that isn't any problem.

Top end kit is around the 150 mark. So it all depends on the cylinder condition.

Spent twenty or thirty minutes in the garage (37 deg.) on the J-red till my fingers got numb...........................................................
It was too cold out in the shop to do much of anything and diesel heat is expensive so i rebuilt that 390 from my easy chair in the den. Wife didn't seem to mind too much, probably as long as its not a continuing thing.

A big thank you to Mo.Jim on the T-27 torx driver tip. Between my 3/16" hex wrench and the T-27 I got the cylinder off the J-Red.

Gave each screw a sharp rap using a punch and my M.F.H.. (medium freakin' hammer). Relieved pressure from the screws. Aluminum don't bounce back like steel or iron. All four broke loose no problem.

Cylinder may just clean up. Something to do on the kitchen island tomorrow.
