I fucked up, Im a dumbass, OPINION Please
 
Well today while sitting in the simulator sapposidly working... I was going over the build check-list in my head, while reading out and doing the weapons check-list to shoot a ship. Most of you have seen pics of it and know what is involved in it, if not, search and youl see it.

The Predicament.

When i was home i took the CP pistons out of my block to grind off the sides of the intake valve reliefs on them so they didn't blow out on me. When i was done i weighed them all out on a 3 bar scale to make sure they were perfect still, and they were.

I put them rods and pistons back in the block, what i just remember that i forgot to do (Stupid me)
I forgot to index the rings.
Now... They were already indexed when they were put in the first time before i pulled the pistons to clean them up around the edges, BUT, im not sure if i mabey spun some around or something while doing the work on the valve reliefs.

So...

Should i tear the engine back down and pull the rods and pistons out to make sure the rings are indexed, or is it a huge concern?

For anyone wondering how far assembled the motor is now, here is where it sits...

Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to redo, just do it.

Nobody here can tell you if the rings rotated when you had the pistons out.


I think you are trying too hard to be cool, who cares what your job is we already know ::)

lol it will blow eventually, i don't doubt that.

Is there any quick checks i can do aside from dissasembling the engine? if not, i don't have a problem taking it all back apart, i just don't want too if i don't have too.

No quick checks, stop being lazy.

And you don't have to disassemble the entire engine

nah you're getting too butthurt, making my joke seem plausible

personally I'd rip the ---- down since it's out the car and wouldn't be too big of a pain in the ass. Would rather do it now then after it was in the car and fucks up...
