jim fl4 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 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 Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 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 Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All ends staggered and a nice fit . Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
