Trouble with engine hoist cylinder

Ok guys, I have the update.


Tried the pumping with the valve open thing and nothing.... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:


Then popped the plug out and the damn thing was low on fluid. I had a quart of hydraulic fluid with a flip spout on it, and it almost took the whole quart.


It now will lift up. I haven't tried it too high yet, as we are working on trying to free up a stuck crank on a short block/trans assy so we can disconnect the trans. The engine and trans was sitting outside for a couple of years and is locked up. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:


But the hoist now will lift the engine a bit. So that's a good sign. I just didn't figure that a new cylinder wouldn't have the correct fluid level.... Doh... #-o #-o #-o
