Not doin a rebuild with this engine but its gettin stripped down to be cleaned an painted before it goes back in.
Once this one is done i want to get myself another 16xe to strip down an rebuild with new internals

yesterday ill cleaned my pistons and the grooves for rings pretty much all day. took ages to clean the grooves so i could fit my rings. got there in the end thou and also had a meet with nath and paige of here on my lunch hour. was good see them again and also got tigra scuttle from them



also cleaned sump and oil pump. then painted pump!

Looking good mate.

Nice progress

looks smart

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

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

no mate, i took old rings of at home then took the pistons to college and i relised when i got there i need old rings to clean them, so had to it with the wet n dry

wee dremel drill with a fine tool head mighta been good to use ??

yeah it might have tbf. i had one but not with a small enough bit! gaps really small for the top 2 rings

just made small order, just some new rod bolts and seals for dizzy and new oil cap. came to £46 of qed (damn rod bolts expensive). guna try find time to hone out my block next week then once rod bolts come i can start bottom end rebuild
