over the last few nights I have been paying attention tot he bottom end, I have had the block pressure washed and blown dry. I was looking into getting it honed but I cant help but notice it being in very good nick indeed. So I popped to the local machine shop to get the crank picked up, all measures out perfectly along with it nicely polished.
The next step I decided to do was to measure all the mains and big ends by a final re assembly with plastiguage. Just giving me even more peace of mind.
all parts laid o
ut prior to assembly.
could not find a picture of the piston ring location anywhere but
@bloke came to my rescue.
all pistons were decoked and de carboned prior to fitting new piston rings. Came up like new in the end, and wash happy the way the engine build was progressing.
maybe after 2-3years of development i would like to build a fully forged engine later on down the line.
