Block cleaned a couple of times, in readiness for final clean & assy.
Waiting on a couple of sets of main bearings, I was advised to switch from Clevite Babbitt lined bearings to a Clevite H coated bearing. (thanks Andy)
Babbit bearings were good for when I was running blown, but have a short life & to be honest I just caught them in time.
Had another change on Piston rings, after some more good advice from Marc Lamude, Steve Morris.
All being well, rings & bearings will be here shortly, so can switch back to getting the motor assembled.
Removed some of the hard edges off the pistons, to help prevent hot spots, also contemplating getting pistons coated.
