i used to own a ford fiesta turbo diesal thing, i hink that was like the one you have, but it was ancient and wouldnt do more than 25 miles to the gallon so i got rid of it

btw the 25 miles were cos the car was shit

i think i only managed bout 80 in it and it was shakin like a shittin dog

If your sharpening the shirts of the pistons make sure you do it evenly and shape it well. Try to imagine you could sit the piston on a ball afterwards , so you have a nice rounded shape inside where the pin goes
