Guten Abend!

Thanks for all the advices. I have now ordered the .6 Hastings piston ring sets by Bratton's parts.

I think that attaching an angular chamfer to the top of the engine block places an extreme strain on the head gasket because the combustion pressure creates mechanical and hot contact surfaces

Good idea by knocking on the tensioning belt and tighten again.

What is a please is a "waffled compressor"?
