KB - 96mm pistons and stock overbored steel barrels. I'm getting ready to ring the pistons and check/set the gap. I believe the gap should be about .006", but can't remember and can't perform a search for some reason (some virus has dissed me).
I placed a ring in the top of the barrel and the gap was around .021". That's a bit over .006". Am I measuring it the right way? I measured my pistons and yes they are 96mm. Of course I 'll second guess myself and check again. Thanks dudes. Wow, post #100! I'm getting up there! |

What rings do you have??? Pistons? Some of the pistons nowdays want 2 different gaps for each compression ring.
I install mine square in the cylinder and put them in the oven and see what you have and work from there...400 degrees is a good setting. What is the application for the engine? hih revs and high oil temps demand different settings. Skirt clearance also makes a huge difference as well. |
