New pistons & re'bore cylinders to fit the new pistons. Pistons €150 each, re'bores were €27-50 each at Eric Bambers engineering shop, Bold street Preston (always do a good job there). Be very careful with piston rings, they break easily.
Torque setting on injector bolts (I used 20 lbs feet). Cylinder head nuts (I used 24 lbs feet) "got it wrong in the video". When working with aluminium engine castings we must be gentle because threads will be damaged, or castings will be squashed out of shape when engine reaches running temperatures. ALWAYS Use "lead wire" (soldering wire) to do bumping clearances. The cylinders sits on a steel shim between cylinder base and engine crank case, this steel shim (washer) thickness determines the bumping clearance. Big end cap bolts (I used 34 lbs feet). I was an engine rebuild engineer back in the 80's, I determine torque settings from experience and guessing, cannot find any original info on this engine yet. I would like some original info please.
Cylinder heads were in great condition, but for plenty soot/carbon in the exhaust ports. and a quick valve grind.
