Will do, though I have had a close look at them with a magnifying glass

It's been really cold here today, but started painting anyway.
First coat on this morning.
Got colder then started to rain and then hailstones for quite a while.
Pushed it in to the garage and got the second coat on this afternoon.
For being brushed on I'm very happy with the result. Hope @Bennehboy likes it

Hell of a read! At least to page 24, got scared to read on when the mayo appeared
The comparisons to mine are scary, but I suppose many rebuilds start with a suspected head gasket failure. Same engine stand as mine I reckon and I'm getting most of my stuff from Turners. They have been very helpful. Like you I've been trying to keep costs down, but these things just grow arms and legs and you end up beyond the point of no return very quickly.

Looks nice and shiny. I'm looking forward to seeing all the new bits and pieces going on it.

Me too, Brown. Just having a close look at the pistons I've bought. No instructions with them so I've been looking on the Motor Services website for these pistons and it says to ensure the oil scraper expansion ring locking hook should be in a gap in the ring. My piston expander ring doesn't appear to have a join to be hooked together?

what kind of scraper ring is it usually they are split like the compression rings and so need gapping there are other types that dont need gapping

Not sure how clear this will be.
Not too bad, but I'll try another

its the std type,you just take it off as as the other rings and gap as such,the spring inside has a steel wire secured to one end which slides inside the other end of the spring, ensure the spring join is opposite the scraper gap,you leave the spring on the piston the scraper just fits over it

Is that one that's like a circular coil spring? Maybe it doesn't have a join of the kind the instructions are referring to. Maybe they mean the zig zag kind. They're more likely to have a join and the instructions vary as to how they're meant to go. Not overlapped, overlapped, latched together, ends facing downwards and so on.
Edit - I see you've beaten me to it.

Slid the scarper ring off, cos I couldn't find the join. Took a magnifying glass! The join is not like anything I have seen in any of the Kolben Schmidt stuff online.
For future reference this is it.

looks like it, if you pull on the spring it will separate ,just ensure that joint and scraper gap dont conicide, dont know about what youve been looking at but thats what tdi and other lr engines oil scrapers are like
