[Paul_75SX]

5k Miles ago

Todays progress plenty of cleaning, i managed to get the inlet manifold, plenum, throttle body, sump, coolant rail and pistons/rods looking like new! I also measured the cylinders with an internal micrometer and i'm now happy with a horne and stock size pistons/rings will be fine

Very good work there Paul.

Was good to meet you earlier and cheers for the wings mate.

[JoeGT]

What do you use to measure the bore size?.

[Superman]

an internal micrometer if you read properly lol

[JoeGT]

Oh yeah sorry. Was half asleep. So what happens if your bores are bigger than they should be? What happens about rings. I'm asking because I'm thinking about re-ringing my GT.

If they're bigger than they should be then you'll need to bore the block out slightly and fit oversize pistons and rings. Chances are it will be within the tolerance where just horning the bores and fitting a fresh set of rings should suffice.

Ok cheers for the info mate.
