Right then, spent a few hours on the engine this afternoon, got it stripped down and removed the piston and conrod furthest from the oil pump just to check the shells. Shows a slight bit of wear but nothing major, but the engine is in a manky state inside and out!! So the plan for next weekend is get the rest of the pistons out and get the correct shells ordered up, and thoroughly steam clean/degrease the block and head ready for paint, should look pretty good with the theme same goes for the head get all the valves out, decoked and the head steamed cleaned, order new valve stem seals, may aswell change them going to this extent. The bores look fine aswell but again they will end up being honed seeing as the engine is completely stripped. The sister took a few pics earlier but I will post up some before after ones when more work is done Over and out
