Hand installation of piston rings
« on: May 31, 2020, 06:15:01 PM »
After installing the rings on my first piston and having the 2nd ring fall into the 1st slot and then having to work it out to the 2nd spot I rethought my problem and put 2 of the old oil rings  in the 1st slot . The rings slide right down to 2nd slot without stopping at 1.

That's a clever trick! I might have to remember that one. Thanks!
