Also assuming your using Standard bolts, too.
I know ARP rod bolts are 47ft-lbs, torqued thrice before finally assembly.
Ring gap: With a piston (without rings on it) push the compression ring into the bore and use a feeler gauge to check the gap. The rule for ring gaps is about 0.004" per inch of bore diametre.
Cheers guys
she's been honed out so I didn't think min ring gap* would be an issue and it wasn't, but cheers for the help ya legends!! Put the crank in last night
easy as, several passes and ended at 44 for the standard crank bolts wiped with high performance motor oil so they go faster now hahah, man fitting rings was tricky (my first one) I took the old ones on and off a few times just to make sure I wasn't going to bust the good ones, did break one of the old ones but it was hard as, new ones sit sweet.
Only prob now, the damn ring compressor failed...so I had to stop there, booo, all safe on the stand though
Cheers again for the help guys! much appreciated!!
