Engine Rebuild Frustrations

Grrrrrrrrr!

We have been slowly rebuilding the VW bus's engine now for a couple of weeks. After Romy went away for his two week training, I continued to keep working on it, leaving off at sealing the two case halves together. I got up to the rocker arms, and what did I see on the bench?

I saw these, the retaining rings for the piston pins! Nooooooo! I can't believe I forgot to put these on! Now I have to take half the engine apart! AAAARRRRRGGGGGGG!
