I've got a mid 70's 2833E. I was watching your video, and thought I might like to try and rebuild mine. I was wondering where you order your parts from?
ring compressor WAS NOT down all the way. he probably messed up the top ring a little. dont force it!!. put the compressor on it, turn the whole piston assembly upside down, tap it on a flat surface, even the ring tool up! you wont have the trouble he had getting the ring into the cyclinder. be careful with this.
Do u have to ream the cylinder before putting piston back in with new rings if u didn't hone the cylinder? I see the manual says to ream it before removing the piston but it's too late for that so I was gonna put new rings on and put piston back in but I don't wanna damage the new rings. Seems to me it should be fine going in with ring compressor but I'm not sure. Any input appreciated ***ridge reamer is what I mean by reaming. To clean the ridge left by previous wear
If you do not ream , then there might be so much ridge that you can't get the piston out . If there is that much then your engine needs a rebore . If there is much ridge and you reassemble it then the new rings will hit the ridge every time it turns and your new rings will be wore out before the engine ever starts
Good job man! Where do you like to get your parts for these engines? I have a locked up Onan P220G on my welder. I almost have it ready to pull out now.
Most of cylinder wear is just at the top of ring travel, measuring where you did on a used cylinder will not give aa usable result as when piston is at bottom the rings might bind
id recommend oiling that cylnder before pushing that dry ring in there. Id also recommend measuring ring gap a little closer to where that ring would sit when the cylinder is at TDC.
The cylinder should have been oiled. I just did not mention it. Normally I oil the cylinder immediately following deglazing and clean up. Per the manual “… Push rings into cylinder bore approximately halfway using piston”
It was the cap tightening that I was most interested in.... Damn it!!

This help me a lot, thx a lot man

question on the valves...did you inspect the rubber gasket seals on the bottom? is it good practice to just replace them anyway when doing a ring job?
Hi, can there be ordered 030 or 040 oversize pistons for the b43e?
"Be careful not to scratch or damage the piston" (smack smack). Lol good work though.
Hi where did you buy those piston rings looking for some for my motor?
You can get rings from Boomers Onan. You will have to call him, but great resource to talk to.
@@mmrbeef K I'll give him a try thank you Good video keep it up

How can you tell what rings you need?
The casting number in the piston will determine the ring type.
Yes, THANK YOU!

Boomers Onan is a great place to get parts. Call Boomer up and he can get you set up with the parts you need. boomersonanparts.com
@@mmrbeef Thanks will do.👍
