ring gaps

[01boneless]

can someone give me the ring gap measurements for a stock bore wiseco 11:1 piston?

Dude, this question is answered multiple times in your recent threads.

The directions that came with your piston also list end gaps.

Top ring should be .014"

Second ring should be .017".


I know I have personally posted that before in one of your threads, I also gave you detailed instructions on how to measure the end gap.

ohh well thinks i hope you dident hurt yourself :) typing is hard on a fella lol and my brand new rings have no where near that small of a gap there bigger than .025

When your gap is too big, even after having not filed your rings down from stock, means it's time to bore it out one size larger.;p

I remember posting it aswell. Not bustin balls but if I remember you had some J.O set your last set of rings right? Take your cylinder, piston and rings to a reputable shop and have it done right. Trust me your better off.

How are you checking the end gap?


And no typing is not hard on a "fella", neither is Using common sense and reading.

ya i had a idiot set the rings and im checking them with a fellers gage. the old rings that came come closer to the right gap?

[crownandmonster]

I know you are checking them with a feeler gauge. I meant what are you doing with the rings to come up with . 025? Are you just leaving them on the piston or are you properly putting them in the bore evenly?

ya my gage goes up to .025 and ya im placing them in the bore ill just buy a new set and do them myself shows you cant trust a shop lol

You have to make sure you push the ring into the bore 3 or 4 inches. It is important that the ring is the same depth down in the bore all the way around ( you can't just try and line up the ends because it wont give an accurate reading). A new set of rings will never measure that large of a gap unless someone has already ground them.
