I have an RB30 that is 300K old. Just looking to give it a bit of a freshen up with a new set of rings and check all clearances etc. I want to do all the work myself to learn how to do it all, have rebuilt plenty of bike engines before but never a car. I have the engine stripped atm, head and sump off. When It got to the part where I was due to remove the pistons I got thinking it would be great if someone that has actually done this before could help. I could send it to a workshop but that defeats the purpose of learning. Also want to save some $$ in the process.
Basically my next step is to:
Remove pistons and inspect
fit new rings and adjust gap as per specs
de-glaze bore
reinstall pistons and check all clearances etc.
If anything needs replacing then it will be replaced
Im looking for someone with the knowhow and the required tools to perform the above and that has done it before. I live in the Knox area SE Vic. If anyone is able to help out im sure we can come to some sort of arrangment for your time, be it $$ or bourbon
Feel free to post here or shoot me a PM
cheers
