Default Re: My eBay piston rings

What exact procedure did you use to measure the ring gap? What ring(s) did you check? You measure it when it's in the bore. Making sure ring is level.

Also "about" won't get it. This is a semi precision item. You need to measure down the .001. The gap for your top ring is usually the narrowest. For a 4.25 Dia bore.......... about .017 installed.

Rule of thumb: Top ring .004 x bore. Second ring .005 x bore

All info from the web because I don't know anything about this.
