the engine was opened today, turns out the pressure ring on piston one is broken, the piston and the other 5 are in gr8 condition but on monday they r to be sent to the machining shop along with the crank and conrods to be checked for proper measuring.

there is no need to go over bore as the sleeves are in gr8 shape. If u think abt the M103 is the god of all engines, i mean it has covered almost 390000km!!! yet still in gr8 shape.

good news is am sticking with it being turbo charged.
