ok guys this is going to sound stupid but i'm just curious and i would like to know if this is right......I was looking earlier at my 400's cylinder and i put my old ring on the piston..the very top one only...i slided it into the cylinder to see how it looked and fit....well this is my question...the piston does not fit perfectly into the cylinder...does the piston suppose to touch the cylinder wall all around perectly or can there be alittle space like where maybe it has wore it in so only about 80% of the piston touches the wall and the other 20% ain't against the wall...the ring took up the space cause you could see it but i'm thinking because of that its going to have to be bored..I can also wiggle it alittle bit not much but i can....what do you all think about that...please guys give me your answers..thanks for any help on this..later madmike
