Started assembly of the shortblock on my B6 build. Had to call DNJ engine parts to find out what side of the rings to install "up". For the life of me, I couldn't see any bevels or markings on the rings...I even put on my bi-focals, LOL. Turns out there was some tiny words etched on them ("ROCK" and "1.5 STD"). - but I still couldn't see any beveled edges...it sucks getting old!Last edited by blkfordsedan; 09-12-2012, 10:33 PM.Brian

Maybe it sat fro awhile and the rings are stuck to the piston lands? I've encountered that a few times. A good soaking in hot ATF and a shake-down run usually frees them up unless there's something seriously stuck or something else wrong there.

OH! I drove mine another gentle 100+ miles, got a quick car wash, and rang her up to about 103 on 54 before I saw headlights and slowed down. Had to dry her off before getting on my dirt road, you understandLast edited by scitzz; 09-13-2012, 06:54 AM.Contact me for information about Festiva Madness!

i am using some free paint from work it is a safety blue color but is close to car color but not exact.
i thought it would be to much blue
the armrest panels are all scratched up i might just sand a little and repaint grey;
