Well bit of an update. In my spare time I have done a bit more to the engine. I got the pistons out and stripped anything else off the block. Then degrease and clean the block. Then gave it a lick of pain, blue of course.

I got the pistons off the rods and have got a new set of piston rings to fit that I picked up on Saturday. I have clean channels out on the pistons so will prob see about fitting the new rings and getting them on the hdi rods tomorrow night and hopefully get them back in the block this week.
I gave the head a bit of a clean to check it and before I get it skimmed. Pre cups have some cracks but think that is pretty standard issue
