Another plea for help if I may.
As noted on previous posts I had the engine and gearbox out of Ruby to have the block professionally re-honed, check the pistons which were all ok but new rings fitted by the honing man.
I did not disturb the bottom end or the main bearings
I have returned the engine and gearbox back in one piece and boxed everything back together and apart from a leak from the bolts on the side water jacket all seems good.
On starting, she fired up first time, unfortunately this was followed immediately by a high pitched squeal and so I shut her down instantly.
Turning the engine over by hand you can hear the pistons move up and down in the bores as the new rings on the pistons slide against the honed surface, which "to me" quite rough, but in ignorance this may be as it should be??
I have since tried again with the same result each time, I have pumped the clutch pedal and this makes no difference, have ensured oil is in the clutch release race.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
I attach a link to the a short video in which the noise is pretty evident
Cheers, desperate of Rainham!!
