so, today I took the piston rings I bought from NAPA and put them in the cylinder with the top of the piston 2in. down the cylinder like the manual says.
According to the manual, the gap should be from .005 to .015. My gap was at least .022-to big!
So I have a few questions now.
1. Is it possible someone rebored my engine already and the pistons are not stock size?
2. Do all cylinders and pistons have to be the same size-i.e. cylinder 6 would not be bigger than cylinder 1, correct?
3. On the first piston head there is a marking 030-do you think that is my piston size? Otherwise, how do I find the right rings for the pistons I have?
Thanks,
Judson
