you can but the multi stone ones are much better as they dont damage the bores if you slip abit. kinda look like something you clean a toilet with, more expensive mind but worth it impo | |

yes you have to at least hone the bores for the rings to bed in otherwise they wont seal properly and it will be down on compression and let oil into the combustion chambers. personally i wudnt do rings without a rebore but if the block is mint with no scores and no lip at the top of each bore then you mgt get away with a hone. this means crank out and everything spotlessly clean so basically full rebuild. you can use oil to prime the bearings. use meths to wipe the surface and then coat in oil when in the journals. be very c arefull not to scratch them as you can do this with a finger nail (they are very soft!) make sure all the pistons are clean in the ring recesses ect. before you start any work get a haynes manual and properly read all the relevant parts inclueding reassembly. dont just look at the pictures or you will fuck it up. best off getting a mate whos done something similar before to help but dont take his advice as gospel! | |

well ive got a cam kit coming for the head and that comes with its own lube/oil for followers etc but ive never worked on a bottom end before (that isnt meant how it sounds lol) so im trying to find out,i have plenty of mates who "reckon" they know but im not above asking when i don't know how....? | |

i dont see any reason why you cant use new engine oil(new as it wont contain any deposits to get into the races and score the surface) as itll be sitting in oil when back together however im sure you can get something called engine lube. | |

ring from vaux should be fine mate,not sure about the rehoning etc as never done the rings etc myself.As long as you make sure there is plenty of oil in the sump and it doesnt run dry then it should be ok for a daily drive. | |

Pistons rings have to be done from the top so head will have to be off anyway. | |

Also check the breather pipes from the rocker as its been known to cause smoking exhaust when blocked. | |

is the head off at the moment??If not get it to a garage to be tested to get a definate cause.If it smokes on decel only id say valve stems if it smokes under load then rings are shot. | |

as above,i beleive my engine to have been rebuilt by a complete deadbeat!! it runs fine and goes well enough but is using oil/smoking even when warm,some freinds say valve stem oil seals...some say piston rings |
