You are going deep down the rabbit hole.
Seems I am not going deep down the rabbit hole anymore. I've started digging a brand new hole
Lots of updates
After dismantling the pistons and checking the wear of the cylinders and pistons and lots of consultations and measurements, it has been decided that re-ringing would help maybe for a while, but definitely not in the long term, as the wear was already too serious.
That led to sequence of other actions...the block has been stripped down entirely, pressure-washed, rebored to 2nd oversize and honed. The next thing are the pistons (that are NLA from Volvo for a long time), so custom pistons from Josh - Yoshifab needs to be made
