New p/c for 73 1.7L All measure between .018 and .022 end gap.
All of my books, and you guys, say check the end gap, but none give me the tolerances. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Thank you very much( in best Elvis voice(or worst?)) |

My book says maximum gap is .022". The engine I just took apart was running fine and had .045"+ ring gaps.
Rings are cheap though. If your cylinders are in good shape, put a good cross hatch patern in them and install new rings. |
