Day 13 - Piston Ring Check



So whilst I wait for more parts, let's check the piston rings. This is done by inserting the piston rings into the corresponding cylinder and ensuring it is inserted perfectly square by using a piston to push it down a bit, and then using a feeler gauge to measure the thickness of the piston ring gap, where the 2 ends meet. Thankfully the piston rings, at least on number 2 cylinder are all within specs.


Deliveries! My replacement crankshaft and piston rods arrive. Time to unpack them and examine.
