Hello Brett:
WOW chill Dude!, I do not consider removing the head on one of these engines as taking apart! I doubt that anything destructive could,would have happened to the engine. If you know of any damage that may be caused by removing the head, kindly share this knowledge.
Again, I am not trying to pick on you, but how is removing 4 of the 8 (or 6 of 10) of the fasteners that hold the entire engine together not "taking it apart"? There are dozens of ways to change it by doing that, you could rotate the liner, you could mis-tighten it. And there is already another thread where 8 of the 18 parts in the entire engine were replaced because of improper operation of a screwdriver.
And in fact, you came on wanting someone to tell you to get a replacement liner, or a "better" one, maybe with "stunt numbers", which means taking it all the way apart and probably modifying it to destruction - and I have seen that over and over and over again, and most of your threads are like that.
Guys, everyone, not just Frank - unless you *know* there is a problem, or it has been crashed and not cleaned out, *leave it alone*, don't take off the head, backplate, etc. to see what is in it, or whatever. I see this *incessantly*, why? You hadn't even run it, much less flown it. If you fly it, experiment for a while, find a problem, diagnose the problem, then need to change something, then yes, fine.
I am getting frustrated because of the thread after thread after thread where someone pre-emptively disassembles or modifies their engine, then complains that this or that part or engine is "no good", and then start grinding it or doing special tricks with it, and then go down the rathole.
As always, it's your engine, you can do what you want, no skin off my nose. It's just advice. But when you have problems later, the first question will always be "did you take it apart and/or modify it?", and if so, it will frequently mean that someone else will have to put it back, or you will never get a good engine run.
In this case, you may have gotten away with it, but that is TBD, since you haven't flown it, and no one knows whether it will ever be a good engine for our purposes. Now, we CAN'T know from this engine, it has been fiddled with, if it has a problem later, it might be due to the fact that it's not a very good engine for CL, or, it might be that this particular engine is somehow not working normally because of this.
