are there any differences between the aircooled.net piston rings for a type 4 1.7($30) and the pelican rings for $59? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) one order would simplify my life
I plan to replace the stock cyliner spacers(only found these at aircooled.net) too, but I'm unsure the stock 1.7 thickness to select (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) also, is there a sealant used here? which one is recommended? also, is there a gasket/shim at the top that I need to get? anything else I'm forgetting? I plan to replace the rings when I swap the heads as well(just for good measure)... and since I'll have the engine out/heads off I will put a CHT gauge in as well... what else? I want to do this right, but quick so it CAN be driven july 4th weekend to my parents(at least that's the plan today) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) it may all change tomorow. |

when putting in new rings what checks do I need to do?
check both cylinder/piston for roundness(wallowing)? gap between cyl. and piston? check for scoring/dents of course... measure deck height before pulling the cylinders off and after to make sure they are the same... what is the right case-to-cylinder sealant to use? is there a manual or tech article somewhere? I'm phreakin' out, man! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
