Hi Mate , rebuild is going well (so far) , top end of the engine is at the engineers for a head skim and reseat of the valves and i'm having the bores honed prior to fitting the rings , Im just waiting for an engine gasket and seal set that seems to be taking ages to arrive. I did a compression test with my father in law , compression was down on 3 of the 4 cylinders but temporarily came back up when we squirted oil down the bores , which my father in law (who knows more about these things than i do) diagnosed as Ring wear , which was subsequently confirmed by the guy whose skimming the Head.
