Whoops I was not logged in as me. That's sorted now.
We used a tool to push the springs up and special pliers that I put grease on to hold the collets. It was hard to get them in at first but got easier as I did the rest.
Some of them did not go in right so we tapped them into place.
Then I fixed the water jacket by putting a coil into the hole that was too big. I screwed it in and then put the studs in.
The last thing today was the pistons.
We clamped the rod in the vice and then pushed the tube through and line dup the notch. Then I put the screw in and dad tightened it.
I put the ring in the bore and measured the gap with a thing that was the thickness on my hair.
We put the rings on the piston using out thumb nails and had to be really delicate in case it broke. The big one went at the bottom, the black one next and the silver on on the top. Two of them had top written on them so we knew they had a certain way to go.
