Huge win! Well, the circlips at least, I didn't check the game score 😉 Easier but still not easy the second time around, I guess?

+@miketdavies it was MY first time actually doing it this time, watched as Konrad did it the first time. After once hands on it’s pretty easy!

Spoiler alert - The Gators beat LSU!! (And just wait until next week, it get’s even better!). Go Gators. Was a great day in the workshop.

+@jeremypringle5368 yeah baby! Ole Miss next…

it would have be useful to see how the piston was inserted into that spring compressor as it looks to be a simple ring. and if so is not really a compressor but rather a cylinder, or possibly a slightly tapered cylinder. which begs the question, if true, as to why use it at all. IOW why not simply compress the rings with one's finger tips as they are inserted? no hammers would be needed.

+@bladerunner6282 I just put the piston in the middle and cranked it down with the included hex wrench as tight as I could. The adjustable ones are not great, better to get the exact size you need for your piston size. I got one as you will see when I install the bank 2 pistons ;)

[@miketdavies]

They are usually tapered a bit to allow the piston to be inserted in the top

OLÁ 01/12/24 Estou boquiaberto. Pergunto se aprendestes ou desenvolveste o sistema de montagem. Conheço como um motor diferente para ser montado mas longe do que apresentastes. É... vais necessitar de sorte e eu, quem sabe, de atualização.

+@robertoudokrapf453 sorry can you translate that to English for me?
