Looking good so far, but what are those bits?
Don't look like engine internals!

Nice and clean. You even got a special tool to push the rings in for gap checking. I just use a std piston with the oil ring in keep the ring depth same.
And paint the block :)

I spent a good 5 minutes wondering why there was a huge step in the bores 1/2" down. Then realization dawned :oops:


Like the tool idea!

Probably a dumb question, but what's the little "N" on the piston ring mean / for?

No.4 piston and rings installed, each set of rings is individually ground to their labelled own cylinder for maximum efficiency :D
