Re: Piston Rings Question
this is hmt..lots of people use cheapys like hastings..my wisecos came with rings so i didnt have to make a choice.. and of course you don't want the ring gaps to line up..usually a diagram is supplied to tell you where they think the ring gaps should be

Re: Piston Rings Question
before swapping around ring paks, make sure they are all using the same thickness.
1.0mm ring into a piston grooved for 1.2mm = flutter...........
From what I've seen, Hastings will be just fine if they match the slugs............

Re: Piston Rings Question
im talking about when you check ring end gap. you dont install them on the piston when you are checking ring end gap. my question is when you put the ring in the cylinder, how do you safely get it out without damaging it, since it is held to the wall with some amount if force.
