This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C5EA8C.D037316A Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi folks! I have been reassembling the 2 Litre diesel engine for my S1 over the last two nights and I have noticed a slight anomaly between the Parts Catalogue and the workforce manual. The parts catalogue lists four oil scraper rings for the pistons whereas the workshop manual refers to eight oil scraper rings (rings four and five on each piston). I have dismantled two of these engines and both only had a single oil scraper ring per piston - someone may just have been economising when they were rebuilt in the past! I purchased a full set of piston rings from Cox and Turner here in the UK and they provided me with 8 oil scraper rings. Since Cox and Turner sent me eight oil scraper rings I have gone with the workshop manual and installed them all. Does anyone have access to any Service Bulletins/updates that would indicate whether there should be four or eight oil scraper rings fitted to the Series 1 Diesel? The only update I have relating to this engine makes no mention of the number of oil scraper rings. I have a nagging suspicion that I read somewhere that whilst there is a space on the skirt of the piston for a second oil scraper ring, it is not actually needed! If I leave the second oil scraper ring in place on each piston will it cause any problems? If anyone can cast light on this it would be greatly appreciated - If necessary, I'd rather pull the pistons again tonight and remove the second oil scraper rings before the sump, head, injector pump etc are refitted! =20 Lyndon Northern Ireland ------_=_NextPart_001_01C5EA8C.D037316A Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 6.0.6603.0"> <TITLE>Series 1 Diesel</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <!-- Converted from text/rtf format --> <P ALIGN=3DLEFT><SPAN LANG=3D"en-gb"><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">Hi = folks!</FONT></SPAN></P> <P ALIGN=3DLEFT><SPAN LANG=3D"en-gb"><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">I = have been reassembling the 2 Litre diesel engine for my S1 over the = last</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG=3D"en-gb"></SPAN><SPAN LANG=3D"en-gb"> = <FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">two</FONT></SPAN><SPAN = LANG=3D"en-gb"></SPAN><SPAN LANG=3D"en-gb"><FONT SIZE=3D2 = FACE=3D"Arial"> nights and I have noticed a slight = anomaly</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG=3D"en-gb"></SPAN><SPAN LANG=3D"en-gb"> = <FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">between the Parts Catalogue and the = workforce manual.
