Im about to start changing the piston rings on my nc35 and just looking for any advise before I start, ive rebuilt my yz125 before but never tackled a v4.
Ive the engine out and degreased and haynes manual (and a new kettle) at the ready, just looking for any advice from you guys who have done this job before.

Re: NC35 piston ring replacement
The Haynes manual should steer you pretty well through the procedure, maybe watch a few Youtube videos on piston ring replacement to get a better idea of what you're up for.

Re: NC35 piston ring replacement
My 2 bits of advice:
1- Buy a shedload of sandwich bags and a permanent marker. Then bag up each part + it's corresponding fasteners as you take it apart and label it.
2- Take loads of photos of all the components before and after dissasembly. It'll be invaluable when you stick it back together!
