[QUOTE="KennyNUT, post: 57569, member: 3057"] Mark, You know when you are thinking something, but would never admit it to anyone as you could not possibly believe it to be correct - ie its not a logical way to think, well you have just confirmed one of those thoughts. To DavidD, I have read some of your responses and you seem like a gent who knows his stuff but a "dry" re-assembly of the piston and barrel had me completely flummoxed and head scratching to the point I thought you were pulling my leg. You know like the new electrician apprentice who is sent to stores for "a box of sparks" :D So it was a great story that you shared, Mark and very brave of you to do this with a Black Shadow engine. Thanks for the reassurance. I hated to think I was that electrical apprentice with my Comet :rolleyes: Anyway, I ordered the new rings yesterday and will buy a ball hone tomorrow from [url]http://www.pacehigh.co.uk/pages/default.aspx?productID=23955&mode=productDetails[/url] In the meantime, I have new gaskets and have cleaned the oil pump brass screw and will re-assemble that with a little RHODORSIL on the furthest away from the pump threads and pop it back into the crankcase. If I reassemble everything with care, then we hopefully, will be back on track. Does anyone recommend running in oil or just use standard 40wt. And after how many miles should I change that? So, I am thinking that my first run should not just be a start up, it should be a proper run with my mobile phone(!), and hopefully, before salt starts being deposited on the roads and the frosts and snow arrives! Thanks, Kenny. [/QUOTE]
