Of course you are right. I don't know why I thought that, but I do remember something being kinda screwy when I took the flywheel off. Maybe the issue was that I had to take the oil pan off to get the flywheel off. Oh well, I can look tomorrow. But now that I know that the pan is easily removed, how easy would it be and how effective would it be to re-ring this engine?? Would it only be effective if I had broken rings?? I assume that if I had blowby and the rings were good that cylinder machining would be the proper course. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am on an extremely tight budget (unemployed student) so I am interested in budget solutions which fall somewhere between hacks and rock solid reliability. At my disposal are two B16s the one in the car has probable blowby and a suspect head gasket, the other is a complete unknown, I also have a bunch of engine gaskets that I purchased when I had more money, a B18 with a cylinder that has been gouged by a loose wrist pin but with a recently rebuilt head, and a spare M40 transmission that I would be able to use once I find a good countershaft for an M41 that could go into my 122. So I have a lot of options, but I am confused as to what direction to go. It just has to be cheap. I could patch up the engine which is in the car, or rebuild the spare B16, or find a countershaft for the M41 so I can replace the M40 in the 122 and get the B18 cylinder resleeved and put B18/M40 combination into the 210. Oh my head is spinning. Any ideas would be appreciated.
