Re: [DML] DCS 2006 Engine rebuild contest

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Questions:

Are us "professionals" allowed to enter?
When you sat "completely torn down" I assume you mean pistons, piston 
rings, crankshaft, shells etc?
What about special tools - eg ring compressor, valve compressor, etc? 
Engine stand?
Will the final result be tested in a start-up?! That could be 
embarrassing.....
If so, are we guaranted the engine worked before disassembly? (might 
seem obvious but I'm thinking things like distributor internals which I 
personally always strip, clean and lube).
What about Wiring loom for things like the idlespeed and ignition 
(assuming the engine's going to be started at the end)? Exhaust? Lambda?

...all just immediate thoughts!
