Thread: Trying put the engine back together

G'day,
Can I suggest that you go to repco and buy some plastigauge and check the bearing clearance on your big ends and mains if you have replaced them as well. It look like a process of elimination here. I always check the ring gap in the bore before I fit new rings to be sure they are the right size. Also check the piston to bore clearance as well. (An race engine builder taught me to measure everything as you rebuild an engine.)
Best regards Chris

After some time off, health + work, I have managed to get all the bits together in one. She turns over on the starter motor quite nicely.



Thanksto you all for your help.
