Well just over 2 bit Hrs and it was like this so not bad.



I got the piston out and I know some will say its fine, but i have to much to lose if it goes tits up.

Both sides are marked also the top has dropped on one side so it was the ring was stuck in there.




Then I made some lightweight sump plugs *happy*

I think Roberto is right, be worth just checking the rest to make sure none of the others have nipped the rings.

Jesus! All that army training was needed just to move the thing!

Maybe two of us could share the turbo along the strip. With pipe work joining the two cars? We would still only have a small chance of spooling that big old Bertha.

Good news, better to check them whilst you are there though rather than throw it back together only to have further problems.
