After the tests showed that something is wrong with the piston rings on cylinder #3, I started to dismantle the bottom of the engine.
Conrods are a Ford item, pistons are AE 18647 +0.090 for the Fiesta 1300. They are commonly used to raise compression. Bore on 1300cc and 1600cc engines is the same, this allows to use both kinds of pistons. Valve pockets are a little less than 3mm deep. The bearing shells look good and can be reused. During the next days I will check prices and ask for quotations. I also have to check what tools I need. My torque wrench goes only up tp 60Nm which is not enough f. ex. to fasten the cylinder head.
Cheers.
