OK... Understand I run a much tighter ring gap than most. Where stock rings start you out with app. .012 ring gap I use .020 rings and cut to fit a closer tolerance.
This is from another thread, but applies to the ring question..
If I read this right you are saying, if the standard bore has wore slightly oversize , so that "new" standard rings start out at .012 or more, then you use .020 over rings with the standard piston in the slightly oversize bore ....and just file the ring ends to create a smaller gap... .003 to .005...?
Is that correct..?
