Some of you may remember when I got a used maxx and was asking about the sirio .18 because I could not get it to run well it turns out after I pulled the engine and took the head off there is all kinds of dirt particles in the piston/sleeve area and for some reason it is almost impossible to get it to turn when at TDC, it moves nice and smooth the rest of the way up and down but always gets stuck there for some reason. A rebuild kit is about $125.00 from what I have found online but I am wondering if there is anyway to save it? Never took or cleaned an engine before.
Also what is the best stuff to clean your engine off with? I don't have an air compressor near me and a paper towel and q-tips don't seem to work well either.
BTW the dude I got the engine from was not from RCNT he was from a car forum I visit so I will never again buy anything without them having some feedback my wants came before being practicle and it bit me in the ass this time so I won't let it happen again.
