Hi all,
I hope you don't mind these fairly basic engine questions.
My engine is still in the car although I've gone as far as taking out the cylinder barrels (I've bought new nanni 540cc pistons and barrels)
q1. Is it possible to take the pistons out like this, or really should the engine come out?? Circlips and retaining rods look like they will be very awkward.
q2. Regarding reinserting the collets and spring caps using a valve compressor , what is the best order to do this in i.e compress springs including cap then drop in collets?
I've not done any engine rebuilds before!
Many thanks,
David
