Re: Piston rings?
Ian, I have never re-built a motor befor so just asking if you are placing the ring in the cyl without the piston and checking the gap. Then what is the lube you use.
Thanks for the input Ian |

Re: Piston rings?
General I put the piston in and slide the ring down to it dry. The piston is in the hole so you have the ring square to the hole.

I will probably be shouted down on this, but I flood regular engine oil into the rings and on the cylinder walls as I slide the pistons into the bores. Ian |
