I assembled the engine yes, and i know thats it sucks....its a first time building and i was just stupid.
Yes i checked the ring gaps, they were exactly the same as the old rings and within tolerance of JE's specs.
I havent been driving it, im just making sure i check everything before i end up stripping it down again.

Ive just checked and the crank pulley has abit of play, how much if any play is normal?
Thanks again for any help
