The General Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi guys, Simon and myself are trying to fit some new piston rings into his newly bored engine, but we are having problems with the rings. The rings are made by Hastings, and were packed in 65, they have come with no fitting instructions and no markings indicating top and bottom orientation. We are ok for the oil scraper ring-bottom, but cant work out the middle and top. One set of rings has a grove around the inside of the ring, the other set has a step on the outer edge. any ideas on which way round these should be ? Thanks in advance, Tim & Simon.

CMP-Phil Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi Can you post a picture of the rings? Depending on the ring type may have an instruction sheet, that would help. Also what engine are you working on this might find someone who can help. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
