Re: Endoscopes for mechanical inspection.
If you have a smartphone there are cheap endoscopes, £8, on ebay that attach to them and are very handy for viewing impossible to get to places, and you can photograph or video to have a look at on a larger computer screen. Need to check compatibility of phone with scope.
Re: cleaning
That's what you call a result. I'll be using that system in the future.

Re: Piston Rings
I googled "piston ring suppliers uk" and there are pages of mainstream suppliers.
1st supplier boasts 4 million rings in stock.
May have to work off specification rather than Lotus 912 etc

Re: Virtual meetings anyone?
A couple of weeks ago in a virtual meeting there was a mention that the rear wheel bearings can be removed, dismantled for cleaning and repacked.
Can someone please tell me how the bearing components are taken apart and reassembled.
Many thanks,
G
