[QUOTE="lee_812d, post: 162945, member: 5136"] This afternoon I stripped the engine. Firstly the head and barrel came away together stuck fast which was a blessing in a way as my dad was reluctant to take the barrel off (because it's fiddly getting it back together!). Well it's good the barrel is off because there are problems with the rings - only the top one is free and behaves much as it should, the middle moves if pushed, and the oil scraper is stuck in the groove doing nothing. So only the top one was doing anything much at all. You can see the effects of combustion leaking past and discolouring the piston. Plus there is quite a lot of carbon but doesn't look like it is damaged at all. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
