Guys whats goin on my cylinder wont slide on my piston (sounds kinky) it will go past the rings and then just wont go what is goin on....somethin to do with my rings?

make sure the ring is lined up with a little slot, and make sure the piston is not on backwards, you may put a little oil for lubricant, we had the same problem on my kx, but once you get it lined up it drops right in

this is on a blaster......little slot??????????? how can i tell if it is on backwards or not? i put it on one way and couldnt even get it on the rings and then turned it around and it would go on the rings just would go down

Carefull take the rings off the piston, and see if the piston alone will fit in the cylinder. (oil is a good idea here) Then take the rings one at a time and slip them into the cylinder, the ends of the rings should not touch, but should be close together. If all appears well, put the rings back on the piston, oil the heck outta the whole deal, compress the rings, and tap it on with a soft hammer.

make sure the ring gaps are lined up with the locating pins in the piston.. !

locating pins?

there will be 2 little pinsin each ring gap on the piston. one per ring gab. then the ring gap on the rings has to b over these so the rings will fully compress.
