Engine: 3.2: XC90 Misfire

More photos - Vida instructions for re-install oil pump - not sure what I'm supposed to measure looks like gear play but I'm sure it's tension of the drive gear against the main gear on the crank. Stat says "Flank Play" is that lateral movement or radial movement?

I'd chuck another set of shells in as a matter of course as long as the journal looks okay. If you change the rings you need to deglaze the bores or you might end up with low compression/high oil consumption as the rings and bores will glaze rather than bed in, don't be afraid to rev the engine when you start driving again, plenty of revs on light throttle openings to get the rings bedded.

Thx Volvocano!, I have honing stones at ready. just still trying to find alternates to Volvo expensive rings sets, Also would still like some help on the oil pump removal, has anyone done this and reinstalled it otherwise piston 6 is staying in!! Head should be back next week, machine shop are just awaiting a new valve from Volvo Sweden! While I'm on does anyone know a decent alternate to Berryman's Carb cleaner for cleaning off the pistons.?? Or a UK supplier with stock??
