Toes curl? You nearly gave a few members a heart attack ;D ;D The 500 loves a oil and filter change with mineral oil every 1000 to 1500 miles ;)

Hi
I am just rebuilding my engine on a new project i bought with a seized engine.
If you managed to change valve guides i am sure you could tackle a fuller rebuild.
Whilst i am time challenged in terms of helping i would be happy to help with phone advice, pm me if you want to talk
In terms of engineering i used a company just off the Irlam junction on m6 called micro precision to press out some horribly seized pistons, hone the bors and fix a broken off case stud and they are nice guys and did agreat job at a reasonable price www.mpeltd.co.uk

Armed with a manual, tools and parts, gaskets etc, I'm sure you could manage it yourself. You can always ask for advice on this forum from people that's done it.
It seems a daunting task but it's the fear of the unknown that puts people off.
It does sound like the piston rings are worn.
