Dont think I'd be brave enough to consider undertaking such work yet, perhaps a few more years of learning needed😀

Thank you Steve, but this is nowhere near as difficult as it might appear. I changed piston rings on motorbikes many times, particularly on 2 strokes (they eat them regularly). The principles are exactly the same, the bits are just a bit bigger and heavier on a motor car.

Have a go at a few jobs as they come up, you will probably surprise yourself with what you can achieve (and save a fortune in garage labour).
