Default Re: "help"

You wrote as more pistons went in it became harder to turn. I have found Hastings piston ring sets at times are including the wrong expander for the three piece oil ring assembly. The expander is to long causing a huge amount of drag I'm not saying this is your problem but I have seen it many times.
