Pulled both engines out of the garage the other day, after scraping off all the gaskets I had to slosh around some gasoline to get all the little bits of random crap out of there that might've slipped by the towels
All clean, ready for the pistons and cylinders
everythings looking clean inside so the base gasket went on
Pistons are in, rings are on. everything was all good until the last ring (number 12 of 12) on the last piston. I was doing em by hand, compressing without a ring compressor of any sort, and on the last ring the weight of the cylinder exploded the oil piston ring. soooo bummed, $30 mistake, let alone all the hunting and searching I had to do to find the god damn thing on ebay, so now its on hold till the parts arrive.
1st engine all good
