B60 piston rings

[jim fl4]

Hi All, Got some Wellworthy DuaFlex sectional steel oil control rings for my B60 engine. Don't know how they fit? They consist of 3 flat very thin rings, 1 ring which is wavy and then the other ring is broad, perforated with slots.

 

Any help much appreciated

Hi Jim

the broad ring with slots fits first, then fit the two thin flat rings over it. These go top and bottom of the groove and the narrow wavy one between them. Don't forget to space out the ring gaps around the piston. Sorry I am not able to send a picture. You should have 4 items.

 

regards

Hi Richard, Thank you for the super fast reply . I actually have 5 items, 3 thin rings plus the wavy one and the slotted one. I can see the slotted one goes in first. Sounds like the wavy one gets sandwiched in the middle, but having 3 thin rings, do I put 2 at the top and 1 at the bottom or visaversa?

 

thanks again

hi Jim

you have got me there! I rebuilt B61 last year with those oil rings and from memory thought there were 2. I am unable to look at my manual to confirm so hope someone else can tell you.

Hi Richard, no worries, had a think about it and decided on 1 flat ring at the bottom, then wavy one, then the 2 remaining flat rings at the top. All ends staggered and a nice fit .

 

Cheers
