Hi all
Thanks to everyone who helped me with regards to manual for our van,

Iv got to replace the piston rings have them on way but do i need to replace anything else
when i come to do the job,
The van is off the road in the dry so i have plenty of time to do the work althougth im hopping
to have it back on the road by summer next year.

cheers

Don't know what engine you have in your van, but surely your changing all the gaskets/seals along the way. Hopefully your going to deglaze the bores before you fit the rings or your wasting your time...Shouldnt this be in technical??
