Hello ,
I tierd my motor down tonight for installing my HRC Kit that I was talking about last thread . Well I came to the piston and removed it from the crankcase / Rod . Everything went fine . then I came to the piston rings and I looked in honda's service manual for my 400 ex for doing some messurments if the piston rings were still good . I didn't look good and I did not know anymore how the first ring from the top of my piston was installed . I think I flipt it and looked in the manual .. Oh they said the first rings top is the one with the letter N on top ... Ok I am searching and searching ...., NO Letter N ?????? :mad: what the f*ck is this ....
Curius I looked at the second ring that was still on the piston installed , ah a Letter N on top of the ring ????:eek: :confused: :confused: :confused:
What do I do no ??? Did Honda ****ed it up in the factory by swithing the rings or what ???
So now the question is , should I leave it and install it like it is with my new piston or get new piston rings ?
What I also noticed was that the 2 ring with the letter N was a thicker one than the 1 ste without the letter N .Also the One with the Letter N was not so smooth at the edges than the first one ?
Could somebody confirm me if this setup was correct or how could I check it if the rings where at the correct level ?
tnx
