Regrettable Engine strip down !!!! I think " Follow up". But it's not over.

Hi Guys, Update. 
OK engine bores have now been professionally honed, in the method of what KAWBOY recommended. This was done with a fixed hone and not the three leg type.  Piston rings purchased from IDM. Ring end gaps made no sense after looking through the official workshop manual ! But posted here by Kawboy is a very informative video by Wisco. They state always go by the Ring manufacturers specifications Only. 
Speaking to the guy's at IMD, they told me, they are ready to go.
So rings are in, Bore's are fitted, well almost !!!! 
So the question is, on the underside of the cylinders, we have 6 O rings, Is that correct ?  In the gasket set were 6 thin o rings and another 12 o rings but thicker. I presume the thicker ones would be if you had replaced the cylinder selves.

Ah, no.
The generic gasket kits contain 18 o-rings. 6 of the o-rings are on the upper grooves on the sleeves ( 1 per sleeve) and 12 of the o-rings are in the bottom grooves of the block (2 per sleeve bore in the block) to seal the sleeve to the block.
Have a look through this link  Cylinder sleeve Removal/Replacement  that I wrote up a couple of years years ago and there are pics showing the o-rings on the sleeves and in the block just prior to reinstalling the sleeves back in the block. I had fun doing this job and recorded it for the benefit of All.
