Sliced most of my hands/fingers on piston rings today! bloody hurt when using the degreaser on the pistons!!! ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21370290386.364663.jpg

Result ... also did you not remove the old rings?

Yeah old rings out, will get some pics of my rings etc tomorrow. anybody k ow where i can get a set of timing cover and water pump bolts as most of mine aren't really reusable and a few are completely not useable
 
I ll find a link.. its in polish or somthing but google will translate it. Its all unf or somthing so you can get high tensile stud and nuts if you get real stuck.
 
I have not bothered as they all looked ok, if you are using a cam within the .43'' lift they should be ok as standard otherwise you will have to change them anyway
 
I changed them, my thinking is they may have lost some of their spring rate and not seal as well as the have.. but there not compulsory
 
Pistons all finished, went from ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21370452768.474620.jpg

the pump should work fine, lots of cavitation on it!
how much was the running in oil?
Click to expand...

thats the word! running in oil was £16 something a bottle but got 2 so didnt need to mix with 10w40. Says use for first 500-1000miles then change back to normal oil :) hopefully have engine done n dusted by end of the month if all goes to plan
 
Noting much happened yet just bits of cleaning. Opened my rad today wanted to take a peak, looks nice and shineyyy! didnt realise it was a nissen only £175 delivered!
