    As promised.

    What you need.

    Hot Soapy water
    Oil
    Rag
    SuperCheap (super shit) ring compressor
    Hammer/Plyers
    Time.....

    Ok, so firt go and install the rings onto the pistons, im not going to bother becuse there step by step on the pack.

    Then wash you bored with some hot soapy water, clean all the crap that built up off it and all the old oil, honing greese and shit.

    When you think its clean get a white rag with some clean oil on it and see if it comes out clean, if not keep trying.

    Oil you shitty ring compressor so the piston can get out smooth

    Now, get your shitty ring compressor and tighen it up.

    Line up the end of the compressor about were the little ridge on were the gudgen pin sits.

    Now for the bad bit

    I carnt stress enough do not force the piston in. I did this and i snaped an oil ring, really gay waiting 1 week too get another one.

    Ok line your piston up to thr front, the arrow goes to the crank wheel.

    Slowy feed the piston down into the bore, with the aid of some new engine oil.

    Now slowy tap the compressor into the tapped bit of the bore, you must not be able to see any part of the piston otherwise the oil ring will slip out (found out the hard way....)

    So slowy push down with your tumbs and the piston so slip in, with a bit of resistance.

    This will take a long or short time and probly have to try a couple time before you get it in i know i did

    ANy way...

    O btw make sure you have installed the conrod bearings

    Once you have got it in, line it up with the crank and install the rod cap.

    The torque for the bolts is : 49-nm

    Done!
