I recently purchased a set of 1.7 Liter pistons and cylinders for my 72 914 Porsche from AA performance. I noticed that the rings are installed and the pistons are in the cylinders. Is it necessary to remove the pistons to configure the ring spacing or is it already done? Can anyonre tell me how they spaced the ring gaps around the piston? In the old days compression and oil ring gap would be alternating in the 9 and 3 o'clock position.thanks

The pistons stay in the cylinder and slide onto the head bolts. The piston protrude out the bottom of the cylinder just far enough to install the wrist pin then the cylinders slide down and seat in the case. |
