Whoever thought it was a good idea to fill new cars with 10mm bolts everywhere is evil. Like satan himself, evil.

4, 10 mm headed bolt, 3.5 inches long, holding the a/c compressor on. Corroded and need BIG TIME torque to break. Well, I don't have a 1/2 drive socket that goes as small as 10mm

All the 10 mm wrenches are shorty sized.

Ugh. Then I finally get my hand between the fan assembly and a/c compressor (front wheel drive car) to find out someone rounded the bolt head of the hardest one to get to.

New cars and 10mm bolt heads. Evil i tell you, evil

Do you have a 1/2" to 3/8 drive adapter so you can use a 3/8 drive 10 mm on the 1/2" drive ratchet???

No tool set is complete without some... :poke:

Cylinders are getting surface rusted a bit but I think this engine was rebuilt some time ago and then not taken care of after awhile. When I got it, it was sitting under a car port, somewhat in the elements

The gouge is in the carbon not the piston

A little honing and wd-40.should clean right up! Much ridge at top of cylinder?

She may be able to get away with a round wire brush on a drill to clean up the cylinders and piston... I've done that with a few engines with success... Be sure to vacuum and blow out any debris with compressed air and then lube the cylinders with some STP or Motor Honey...
