Default Re: Piston rings and size . Help

Take a piston out and run a taper gauge down the whole bore. You say nothing about the block. Is this a tired engine that was smoking that you used a ridge reamer on and ran a ball hone down the bores thinking new rings would fix it? Like suggested above bore taper may be the culprit. Careful measuring will reveal where the problem lies.
