Hello listers,
I have some questions about piston rings and cylinder bores:
Is it possible or a good idea to use oversize piston rings on standard pistons
and if it is yes, until which diverences between piston size and cylinder bores
is this reasonable? I can slid a 0,3 mm / 0,012" feeler gauge between piston
and
cylinder walls.
The Haynes manual says, when new piston rings are used on old cylinder bores,
the top ring should be stepped. I understand the problem, but how do I step a
piston ring?
Is it possible to take away the ridge of the previous top ring in
the cylinders DIY without destroying everything?
Thank you in advance
