Got the new rings fitted to the pistons

Then had an accident. Not sure what to do know really. Im prob going to see if I can get a set of rings for just 1 piston but if I cant I will use an oil ring that come off with a new spring.

Then a bit more bad luck with a pretty deep cut to my thumb

It wouldn't stop bleeding and I was getting blood all over the pistons so I did a quick repair

Then I could crack on again and connected up the pistons and rods

And that was about it for tonight. Just need to try and sorting something out about the piston ring tomorrow
I think I will get it skimmed then sort out grinding the valves in etc
Cheers it will be back on the challengers when I get it back on the road

Plus always worth inspecting valve seats and guides in case any are damaged or need replacing
I think I will get it skimmed then sort out grinding the valves in etc
