Hello All,

Thanks to Aussie Bill I now have a new set of cast "Repco" 2x compression and 2x oil cast rings to fit. I have honed the bores and they look great and want to fit them tomorrow.  Trouble is the lower oil ring (2 bladed cast one) was a real bugger to get off and I broke 7 out of the 8.  All the rest were easliy removed.  I'm now a bit worried that I may break and oild ring when fitting to the pistons and wonder if anybody out there has any tips on fitting them.

Cheers Whitey

My first V8!!

Brisbane, Australia!!
