OK, after much investigation into my engine's running troubles, the problem has been traced to the piston rings. This will of course require the engine being dropped out and lots of bits being taken off.
And as a newbie veedubber and a part time moron, I can't do this. I don't have the tools, the expertise or the skill to do it....
....could this perhaps be the subject of a tech workshop session at some point in the future? :? I'll provide my own parts!
Or would the job take too long to be a tech workshop subject? :?
