Nice work, nothing like some nice clean internals. What's this piston ring groove cleaning tool you're talking about? I was just going to wire brush them...

thats the tool i used, works wonders i say
done some more work today, chucked the pistons back together, gudgeon pins, and circlips.
then compressed all the pistons, and put a bit of oil in the bores and got all the pistons in, lightly tightened the bolts on the big ends.
and then new head gasket and chucked the head on and lightly bolted it down.
will get some pics soon
next is buy some lifters, and torque down the top end, then sort out timing belt shizzle. and get the sump etc all on
ok, so got some sealent today for the bottom end.
and started re assembling bits and torqued down the bottom end
New seal
