You have access to a jizer/parts bath? give them a good soak and good going over with the scotch. Should see them fine.
Liking the idea of rwd, dolly would be cool!

nah i dont have access John, but i will give them a good clean, and there is a tool on frost which gets in the grooves to clean them :)
so new rings and they will be good lol
Can you get access to trike? (trichloroethylene) A good soak and a quick scrub in that would do it, but don't touch it or breathe the fumes lol. Failing that you can soak them in a normal degreaser or coca cola overnight to give you a headstart before you start scrubbing.Quote:

Regarding a trigger wheel speak to Chris Astley. I'm sure he told me that he can get a bottom pulley made up with it incorporated. All you then need to do is make a bracket for the sensor.
When you say about a piston cleaning tool to get in the grooves - do you mean the ring grooves? If you've got the old rings just break them in half and use the non-snapped end and run in the grooves to clean all the carbon out.
a good way of cleaning up were the piston rings go is to snap a ring in half and scrape the crap out with it :thumb:
ha ha beat you to it! lol
:cry::cry: great minds think alike lol
lol, the only problem is, i dont have any old rings!!!
and SIMPS, i will have to come up sometime when your closer to finished and have a looky at your set up. what box you using?
T9? and if so what bell housing, 7 degrees or not?
p.s mines not going in a nova :)
I'm using a porsche 924 gearbox just to be different. I'm not going to run a tilt, no need to as there's plenty of room in a nova.
