Yes Grumpy, the emulsifier holes where blocked up. I have some fine bread tie wire I use to clear them, not ideal I know.

The kit I got was from Thailand.
I have been doing fencing and made some time to start putting this back together.
I have fitted the new conrod and rings.
I also checked the breather cavity and replaced that gasket.

Things I have done: fitted rings, oil ring is obvious, the ring marked (Y) I put as the second ring, the ring marked (T) I put as the top compression ring. All marking facing up as you look at the crown. I spaced the gaps 120 deg apart.
Fitting the conrod was not difficult, 2 circlips and the gudgeon pin came out easy.
I oiled the crankshaft bearing and all mating surfaces.
I made sure not to forget the black plastic pipe (not sure of its role, drain or pickup?)
The arrow on the piston crown is facing the push rods.
also aligned the timing mark on the camshaft with my scribed mark on the crankshaft gear.
All seems to be turning over as expected.
I will fit the oil pan tomorrow with its new gasket.
Not sure what the o rings in the gasket kit are for?
