Interesting video Ant and fair play to you attempting this on your driveway! I am pretty sure that your piston oil scraper rings are designed to have a small gap in them (although not aligned top and bottom), rather than a piece is missing and caused bore scoring. I'll have a look around for another video to see if I can confirm. It might also be useful to check out the channel below, as this guy also rebuilt his 996 engine as a DIY project - www.youtube.com/@ManinaGarage

keep em coming! legend, and giving us UK folk some more motivation that some things are possible on the driveway rather than a garage
