I'm pretty sure I need to renew the piston rings in my 40+ year old Series
2A Diesel Landrover (Carawagon LWB actually). She's pretty under-powered and oil is blowing back through the oil filler tube - spraying the inside of the engine compartment. If anyone has any other ideas as to what would cause this apart from worn rings then PLEASE let me know :-)Now being over 40 years old it has probably gone through a few rings in its time - so the current ones are I expect oversized.
The big question is.... is there any way to tell what size (oversize) rings I need to buy before I've taken the pistons out? Where might the current size of ring / bore be recorded / stamped etc.?
Any other advice? Haynes seem to show the job of replacing rings to be not overly daunting - but maybe you know better - especially if you've done it yourself.
Thanks Landylovers
