JR is it possible to take the casing off the bottom end of the engine and replace those gasket as there is small leaks of oil or is it to much to do ?
Just watched videos on how to remove or split the casing in halves but i aint going to worry about it i dont have the tools to split it and remove crankshaft

Check all the bolts on the case, sometimes they can get loose and cause small leaks.

Thanks JR they were loose I should have thought now I have received my new cylinder bore with piston and rings how do I set up these rings onto the piston I have watched some videos but I cannot still understand

Ok JR ive installed the rings on the piston and have put the piston back into the engine barrel bore is it meant to be tight as its hard to push back and forth ? is that how its meant to be ? just unsure to push it any further incase 
Also when putting the new gaskets on should i use some kind of sealant or can i just put the new gaskets on ? |

I made up of a diagram of how my rings are set on the piston what do you think JR ?  With the diagram you sent me where would the top (in) position be ? |

Generally a new piston in a new head with new rings will be very snug/tight but remember use good oil as in the same kind of oil you are going to use to run in the engine to lubricate the piston when putting it in the head, you CANNOT use too much oil when putting it back together. Also remember with a new rebuild NO SYNTHETIC OIL. Use a good name brand regular what we call DINO oil to break her in I would use a good 10W/40W oil.
Yes use a good gasket sealer on the bottom of the head gasket, not too thick and post a picture of your head gasket and I'll let you know if you need to use copper coat on it.
Also when you put her to together we'll need to find some torque specs for the head bolts and after she warms up and cools off from the initial start up running we'll need to double check the torque on the head bolts.

Was my diagram drawing understandable and are you happy how the rings are set at in the grooves ?

Yes I believe you are right on and now that she is going to be a little tight until it breaks in you need to expect it will load up the battery at first when turning it over, engine will be like new with lots of good compression. So I do hope you have a good strong battery. It's possible you might even have to jump it off of a strong battery on initial start up, that's ok just remember when hooking up jumper cables to a larger/stronger 12 volt battery DO NOT run the engine of whatever you jump it from.
But let's see how it does first before we see if that's needed.

Here is a picture of my Head Gasket JR with all the others  I ain't sure how I'm going to torque the head bolts as I ain't got a torque wrench and ain't got money to buy 1  ? |

DO NOT put any gasket sealer on that head gasket, it is self sealing and the best kind. No torque wrench = tighten each head bolt by what you feel is tight enough to hold well by hand and use a "X" crossing pattern to tighten them. Snug each one down gently then move around from corner to corner until you feel they are nice and snug and feel the same, in other words a educated guess. Again after she warms up a spell and then completely gets bone cold you'll need to re-tighten them slightly.
I don't know about where you live but we have auto parts that will rent out a tool like a torque wrench at a small cost.

Ok JR i bought this sealer for all other gaskets ok ?  Oh when I put the piston back on and lock it in with the piston pin do I have to make sure the T mark is on top on the flywheel ? It's ok I will do it when I put the timing chain on |

Yesiree, that's very good gasket sealer, again a very thin coat and as even as you can apply it. Yes by all means put the flywheel on the "T" mark with the piston at TDC and then put the timing chain/cam to the correct timing marks on them. Again NO gasket glue on your main head gasket. The head gasket you have has the red sealer on it and it's not necessary.
Even one tooth off on the timing chain will be a no run machine.

Ok thanks JR just like to confirm this ok .... I have the flywheel off at the moment ok I have put the new piston and rings on to the crank shaft now I put the flywheel back on and then set it at TDC correct then I then put the cylinder head back on then set the cam timing so the dot on the cylinder timing sprocket is set correctly does this sound right to you ( I hope it makes sense )
Reason why I'm asking is I want this all to be correct putting it all back together

  Does your cam sprocket and head look like this and have these marks? |
