Engine block been skimmed and one piston was fitted but had to be removed due to med supplying the wrong piston rings

Cheers sent my old camshaft back today to med and cost me £25 to send it back that just over half what the surcharge is Royal Mail take the piss to the max

[minilee94]

Measured the land between 2&3 and the block had been offset 20thou ( thanks to cooper man for his help) but still Gota check it with a head gasket . I was abit worried it hadn't been offset bored

[minilee94]

Just awaiting the correct piston rings from med then I can start bolting the engine up after fitting pistons

[minilee94]

Just rung med and they are only just sending my rings out today which takes the mick I spoke to them Monday an they were sending them out Monday also won't get my cam surcharge money for 2 weeks . I think I won't be buying from them again
