Hi all, I am building an engine with some 812 yosh pistons i picked up and I have a few questions. This probably doesn't belong here, but I figured you guys would more likely have experience with these pistons than others.
Here is what i have
First dumb question, arrow towards exhaust correct?
The rings i have all have an "R" stamped on them and there is a shiny one, dark one, and a one piece oil ring.
Second dumb question, "R" side up and Shiny(left) is top and dark (right) is middle?
And finally i came across these images in an ebay sale for another 812 kit. I think it is the same kit as the one i am using
I just got my jugs back from being bored and I measured the ring gaps. This is what i got:
1 2 3 4
Top (Shiny) 0.008 0.007 0.008 0.007
Middle (dark) 0.007 0.008 0.008 0.007
Oil 0.008 0.007 0.007 0.006
This bike is only for the street, that being said, are these gaps too loose for these pistons?
Thanks,
