How much do I owe and which foot do I kiss?
 
Block all helicoiled.

So - liner protrusion. The liners had to be wound out with a puller so I was presuming they would have to be wound back in but now they now just slide in. So with a ruler as a straight edge (hhmm I know...) I get a 0.05mm feeler gauge constantly between all of them without the o-ring seal between the liner and the block.

Questions -
Do I measure with or without the o-ring seal in place?
What is the protrustion I am looking for (metric)

I was advised 3 thou (of and inch) which is 3*(25.4/1000) = 0.0762mm, 7.62 hundredths of a mm. Go for 0.075mm.O ring out, keep liners in the order and alignment must be kept consistent.

7.62mm is what I would like to us eon maggot (and I know how to use it too)

Can hit him at 500 m standing easily if that is is of any info?

Sorry Mark this on the engine, as discussed get the shop to knock 1 thou off it, a fly's dick worth or better yet get it professionally measured first with an accurate dial guage, that is better than a doing it by hand any day and will give confidence.
 
Lined up the old control arm on top of the new control arm so I would get somewhere close before the installation of sub frame. It won't be spot on but it will be in the all park. Some cleaning and freshen up of a few bits and we're looking much better than before.

Block is going off to the engineer again tommorow to be shaved a poofteenth.

Sprayed in situ, brave! Will drop in to look one day soon to gain inspiration!

Make sure liners go off with block for 3 thou protrusion!
 
Engine block back from engineering. No liner wobbles, three thou protrusion.

Hhmm chicken....

Slathering as I look at this. How do you manage to get it all done, having places close by helps I suspect!

Wonderful stuff, will do exactly the same soon enough, can I sponsor you to do it again? :)
 
Hi peeps, piston time. Rings are all good. Went for Mahle set 039 82 V0. I remember from long ago the word "Dist" with the arrow stamped on top of the piston means front - arrow pointing toward front of engine. Can someone confirm this for me before I tie them down please?

More pics....

Dist stands for distribution and I am fairly sure it means the flywheel end. One of the more knowledgeable ones will fix this for you! I cannot remember but had same q when I built mine.

Distributor and flywheel are at the same end. It means the FRONT of the engine, the timing belt end.
