Cheers Deano.

Power output will depend on what turbo I finally decide to fit. I've already changed my mind twice.

Violet RS2 big end shell. I'm using these for upper and lower shells.




Piston rings alligned, compressed and the piston is tapped into place.




Last one.

I got 4 sets of Mahle piston rings from GSF and 1 set from Audi, which cost almost as much as the 4 GSF rings.

The top 2 rings seem to be the same, but the bottom oil ring is different.

Here are the Audi piston rings with a 2 piece oil ring.




Here are the Mahle piston rings with a 3 piece oil ring.




Here are the pistons, rings and rods assembled.

Just whip the engine out again if you get bored over the Christmas break.

Checking the top ring gap.




And the 2nd ring gap.
