Its finally cool enough to get in the garage and start putting my engine together with out sweating to death toady so I start putting the pistons in making sure everything is done right. all the rings spaced correctly making sure i don't scratch the cylinders with the rods and all. Then I get to the third piston...

the damn ring compressor comes undone before all the rings are in. I try to get the piston out so I can try again but I cant get an angle to push it back out.

So... i try to be extra careful and put the compressor back on the piston with it still in the block. And I end up nicking the surface of the block...



I assume that i am pretty fudged and have to take it apart and take it to a machine shop to fix right? Or is there any chance they can resurface with the pistons in it? You can definitely feel it if you move finger across it. grrrr
