Does piston ring gaps have to match?
« on: October 09, 2015, 11:33:32 AM »
Hi again!
Ive done some measuring of TOP and 2ND ring gaps on the top and bottom of cyl block. Reading came out like this, two for each piston ring - TOP l BOTTOM

Cyl nr. 1 has new rings, as the measure indicates. The readings in the top right corner in the photo are values from Haynes. Everything read within specs, but my question would be if it matters to have matched values, proposing a filing of the new rings
