Overall Rebuild: Three Issues i need help with.

[FastFwd]

If you were willing to suffer the downtime from doing everything yourself (usually much longer than when done professionally) it's not so much the mechanical work it's that if something needs to be machined/honed/bored (as trism mentioned) or you need to oversize the cylinders and you initially buy the incorrect products...It can be a costly, prolonged and annoying process...

As i was saying to Zeforce, i hope there is no issue with the bores, the car runs completely fine atm so i mean its not actually in to bad shape. the car could perfectly run NA for another 100 thou. But trying to boost it up or over 20psi with the rings i have atm is just not gonna happen.

I will have to speak with my uncle about the bore size etc on the pistons we installed in the last rebuild because they are slightly oversized and de-compressive.

I think if i find anything wrong with the bores ill bolt it back up and remove the motor chuck it on the ute and drive it to my uncles to get the bores honed etc and done properly. But in saying that i will probably pull apart my engine bay and shave everything and hide my wiring and get the engine bay resprayed. I was going to do that in the last rebuild but i couldnt be stuffed.
