Two Steps Back, and One Step Forward.

Unfortunately my inexperience has reared it's ugly head again, this time in the form of a recently purchased part being broken. As you can see below, when attempting to install the rings, I made a mistake. It does not appear that I can buy rings for just one piston, so I'll have to cough up the dough for an entire new set :(


On the other hand, some forward progress has been made. The three other pistons have been installed with rings properly gapped. The Crank has been installed as well as the lower block and oil pump.




It will take a while to get the new rings in, so that will hold things up even more than they already have been. However, hopefully things will move at a steady pace after that.
