looks good mate, did you do how i said with the piston's? or did you just finish them how you were doing them?

Jamie1991 · Post by **Jamie1991** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 9:13 pm

yeah mate, it worked well for the groove for bottom ring, but brush didnt really get into the other 2 grooves so had to carry on with the wet n dry for those grooves haha.

did you try the snapping of the old ring and use it as a scraper in the groove? or did you want them really clean lol
