Hello Everyone
Many thanks for all your advise. The engine is back together and there appears to be a great improvement already. Previously the oil would turn black in very few miles, now after 50 miles the oil is the same colour as when it went in and no smoke is seen by a following car. Oil consumption will yet to be seen.
I can only conclude that the particular batch of +60 rings were not quite circular and everything else was done correctly.
It is plausible that given enough time the rings may have eventually bedded in.
Adrian.
