That's not too bad then. At least this way you have a spare engine for it. That's the approach I'm trying to take for my car to try and always have at least one engine in working order to keep the car going and fix the other while the spare keeps the car on the road. You'll have that piston and ring sorted in no time once you're back 😉

Sounds like having a spare engine is a good way to go! 😄

My father, back in the early 70's, bought a written off Volvo 144 as spares for our 145. The first thing he did was to fit the engine from the 144, and then get his B40 completely rebuilt by a local engine builders. When finished, the new fresh engine had been built using only 1 item that was stamped Volvo, the clutch plate! Every other part in the rebuild was an OEM part, so they were the genuine parts, but without Volvo branding, making the rebuild a great deal cheaper!
