Glad you like them! If there is anything you would like to see a video on please let us know 👍

That's how i've been aligning rings for decades. Keep the wiper ends on the skirt for a bit of oil, and the compressions off the skirt to keep any loose carbon from getting on the thrust faces, and/or blow by tossing junk down the skirt.

Good to hear we aren't alone 👍👍

Excellent informative vid RT. Thank you. Could you expand on the resizing of big end eyes after fitting/using ARP bolts?

[@thomasclassicandmodern]

Thanks very much, do you mean the process of measuring and resizing ? If so we can do a video on that in the future 👍
