Engine building equipment

[ibby]

Hello guys,

Iam gearing up for some engine building love.
:- or going to try to.
Just need to know which equimpent i reuqire.

I have already got

Tourqe wrench, (large and small size)
Impact wrench.
Spanners, and screw drivers etc.
Electric impact wrench

I am missing the following things, I dont know what they are called
but needs some names as i dont want to sound too haft when i got to buy them :p

Piston ring compressor,
when you put new rings on, it goes around the piston, and then you can lower the piston into the bore.

The wire horning thing, for the block.

And a Micrometer? to mesure bore size, piston size,
crank size.

Thanks guys :TU:

you got all the names right, i think the only thing you are missing is the wire hone thing, and im pretty sure its just a wire hone brush, or hone wheel, or something :p

get a micrometer and some vernier calipers too
