timmytuck Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Hi mate Just out of interest what was up with you're motor ? Mine is smoking like a deisel on start up and I'm gonna take the motor out myself just pricing up parts now. Good luck Quote
jon.young Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Hi buddy, my compression is right down to around 105 psi. But I have just got my heads off and my bores are not damaged their is a tiny rocking movement on almost every piston, I'm talking about a milimeter if that, So I think I will get away with honing an new rings, Quote
Keyser Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Or a nice set of Cosworth Hi comp pistons and rings that I just happen to have laying around would be cool Quote
glrnet Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Or a nice set of Cosworth Hi comp pistons and rings that I just happen to have laying around would be cool Was waiting for that Quote
jon.young Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Would anyone disagree a good honing an new rings an she will be good? Theirs a very slight lip type thing I can feel with my finger when I run it up the bore, Quote
jon.young Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 She's out!! Finally clutch off that's dead pretty worn it's gone blue an purple, Fly wheel is off, heavy sod trapped my fingers under it Just to remove the crank an get it bored out, Quote
ZMANALEX Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Would anyone disagree a good honing an new rings an she will be good? If you want an informed answer then that is a question for your engine shop once they have inspected and measured up, however drawing on my experiences, new pistons would be the way to go as they are not much more expensive than a set of rings. Cosworth, Wossner and Arias pistons all in stock and good to go same/next day. Alex. Quote
