Tappet Adjustment process
#22
A thimble full of oil down each cylinder sometimes helps to promote an initial seal between the bore and new rings.

I had similar problems a few weeks ago when I had my engine to bits to replace a little end. I spent a whole day trying to get any life from it after I had put it back together. It went eventually after I was about to give up for the night, but my next step would have been to tow it. Once it had run for a few minutes, it started instantly and has done so ever since.

Many years ago, I rebuilt the Landrover's engine and had to tow that about a mile and a half before it would go It eventually started with a massive cloud of smoke, and has started readily ever since.
