What tool is that?
How long have you owned it?
So you haven't actually had it in a vehicle running?Had the engine a few months; bought it untested as I thought I could trust the seller...

Then the decent thing would be for them to take it back and refund your money. There's no way they can say it was down to you.Nope!

It'll cost you a lot of money to rebuild the engine if you haven't already got the gear. As well as the engine parts, you have to buy quite a few tools that you wouldn't normally have and it all adds up. You've got a cylinder head to replace that I didn't have anorl![]()
Ah, sorry. Forgot you had gone that far alreadyAs the block has already been refurbished, along with new pistons and conrod bushes, shells etc, I won't be pursuing this course of action. I'll negotiate with the seller, who I am certain will be quite positive about my offer, on the basis that I know something they don't know I know![]()
Yes, I used an assembly lube when I built the engine. Very important I would say. It's much thicker and gloopier that engine oil, so you know it's going to stay put until the engine is running and it gets displaced.Oh, and did you use assembly oil during installation, or just the running in oil?
