Hi, I was told it was a non runner and so didnt try to start it - just as well I expect. There is slight side to side movement, maybe half a mm, Having no experience disassembling engines I am loath to redo the rings even though there is no scoring on the bore itself. I suspect the engine may have overheated as some stage ?? judging by the amount of stuff blocking the cooling fins etc - maybe the gasket went but they continued to try and use it ??. Another pic, this time of head. Best go and see if 'Taryl fixes all' on youtube has any hints. Haha.
