Good stuff. This is a "PROPER" wip thread
Very good work dude. Proper impressed.
should be labled 1, 2 and 3 in the packet, and the rings say top on them
There were no labels, just all wrapped up together. I have
- Four 2mm rings with 'TOP 1.00' written on them (what does 1.00 refer to?)
- Four 2mm rings with 'TOP 1.00' written on them, and the bottom outside edge has a step on (what does 1.00 refer to?)
- Four oil scrapers (how do I gap these to the bore? They are coiled tighter than the bore's diameter)
- Eight thin oil scraper rings (do I gap these to Haynes specification?)
Top work mate, your getting very technical, fair play to you..
Scott
Right mate the four rings with the cut out on the bottom edge go at the top of the piston with the cut out to the top thats just incase the bore has a little lip so it dosent break the ring.Quote:

And the oil scrapers go underneath those and as far as i know mate you dont have to gap them you just put them on the piston but seen as you have 3 separate rings for the scraper put the gaps at different places on all 3 dont know why though its just what my local engineering shop told me.
Hope this helps if you can make sense of it all.
Good luck.
Damo.
If you put the gap in the rings at different points around the bore it limits the amount of blow by that just shoots straight through the gap in the ring, it has to go round the bore twice before it gets out if you put the gaps on opposite sides
Cheers for the info, yeah I knew about the ring gaps in different positions, think it mentions something in Haynes.
The 2mm ring with the step says 'TOP' on the side opposite the step though?! So I can't have the step facing upwards and 'TOP' on top too.
Told you so, shoulda listened to uncle burgo :pQuote:
