Managed to get engine stripped down the weekend, unfortunately pistons were rusted in liners, like welded, got them out with a drift but didn't look pretty. Took them to work and cleaned them all up, came up really well as you can see. Honed the liners too, came up like new with no damage. It was all looking good until I got one of the professionals at work to fit my new piston rings. He managed to snap 2 of the pistons where the old rings fit on
To be fair to him they were well siezed on, but can't help thinking if I did it myself with a bit of heat I may have not been so heavy handed. Ohh well maybe its a blessing as im thinking they may have broken at some stage in the engine as the metal on the pistons must have been a little brittle after sitting in the liner in water for almost 4-5 years.
Attached pictures as standard.
Thanks to Mr Raider for the info on the timing chain, sorted that.
Is it a long shot to ask if anyone has some standard spare pistons without rings I could buy, or is it best just to go to Mike. Also im after one of them wiring harnesses of that French dude if anyone has a link. Cheers
