Do you still have the old rings? If so, break the old ring, Remove all the new rings from the piston, Use the broken ring to scrape all the carbon from the side and bottom of the piston groove.
You stated the old rings were so worn that they were stuck in the groove and did not move. They were stuck in carbon. It is very likely if you can slide the new ring into the cylinder and get a .015 feeler gage in the slot the ring gap the problem isn't the new rings it's the old dirty piston ring land. Do you understand? |

Ring side all set... on to proper TDC which I think is my present issue, and hopefully ALL of my issues wrapped up in one... we'll see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I managed to clean the carbon with a slick little sparkplug gapping file. The file part was useless, the sharp corner did it... def, if I realized, the old rings would have done it as well. |
