So, bombed over to a mates and borrowed some bits...
Ring pliers, bobble hone, piston ring compressor, and a very cool digital torque/angle bar. He also threw in some ATF to use with the hone, damned decent of him!
Cleaned the pump/stiffener assembly and removed the broken pickup screw. The pickup had loads of sealant beads in it, but no swarf.
Cleaned the deck, still needs some more attention - will get some 1200 grit paper on it with a block then scotchbrite it again:
Cleaned most of the gunk from the cylinder tops ready for the new rings, slow laborious and boring work - could probably do more yet, but how far do you go?:
Then pulled all the pistons, only to get a very bad feeling... almost all of them are badly warn, mainly on the thrust side. None are as bad as no 1 was but they are damned close. Gonna bite the bullet and get another 4 brand spanking Kolben Schmidts. This means I'll have 3 unopened sets of rings up for grabs, the 4th extra set I used to check the bores, good news is they are all in tolerance (these KS rings come pre-gapped to factory fit apparently).
Pistons 4 & 5:
Pistons 2 & 3 (no 2 is the least worn):
So, yet more cash to give to turners.
