So what makes them fast? just good matches between the block and pistons?
How much are rings anyway? |

rings are about 100 quid a set, about 140 quid from renault. |

So if i used the PH2 Engines crank, and rods, but the Ph1's block, head and pistons it would still be a fast engine?as the 1st engine that was in it used to pull like a train! |

not neccesarily mate, the ph2 crank might have a shorter throw on the low end of the tolerence etc.
All you can do is measure and machine to suit!
Takes a lot of time and effort to get it bang on! |
