After fitting the crank, it's time to fit the con rods and pistons. These are new pistons made by Hepolite and are really good quality.
They have to be pressed onto the con rods.
As you can see the engine block is now painted. I used a high temperature paint bought from Halfords and there are about 4 coats of paint. Hopefully the paint will protect it for many years. I hate rust so want to make sure water has no chance of getting under the paint.
The piston ring compression tool was ok but it wasn't very good at the compressing the last little bit it get the rings into the bores.
Music is by Orbital and is called Attached.
