listers - I am in the process of refitting the pistons in my 72 Midget. new
rings were supplied and fitted by a local specialist who did the valves for
me. This shop also supplied the new big end bearings.
I have completed reinstalling the pistons and fitted the new bearings,
lubricating everything as a went.
I am now wondering how stiff the pistons should be and how difficult the
crank should be to turn over. With the new rings I expected it would all
feel a little tighter, but now I find it very difficult to turn the crank.
Surely it shouldn't be this tight?
Any suggestions as to what the problem might be - i.e. what I have screwed
up?
