This year its been every other pass :nutkick:
But rings and bearings usually every winter, and have never had a motor together long enough to worry about rods and pistons.

ring and brgs bearing unwanted dissiambley LOL around 150 runs,, a full season we check springs and valves and change oil every 30-40 passes pistons when the ware says it's time +.002 wall clearance ring land clearance issues pin fit and such, rods every 400 runs i pitch them out and black light the crank when it gets polished every time it's out with the power we make nowdays.
make a plan and stick to it !!

Ok that sounds pretty good going to try and make a Full Season on rings and bearing and valve springs about 200-225 runs and then sounds like every other year rods and pistons when they show wear -

I try to get a full season out of transmission but not been able to YET !! :gundown: GRRR .

I do my oil ever 20 passed Lucas 20/50 with Lucas stablizer both synthetic and transmission every 40 passed or so
