Cleaned pistons, replaced rings, and cut my finger on a piston ring. Blood all over my shiny(ish) pistons! Then fitted 2 of them.

Had it's head skimmed, found out the block is also slightly warped 100th of a mm or something..... Hoping the gasket should be enought to cover that anomaly for a while. Keep everything crossed!!

Re fitted the head, dizzy, starter, oh and snapped a head bolt (that was fun). And got soaked in the process. Just hope the bits I've ordered will turn up soon. Want her running for MITP.
