- Be careful with that. Better more gap then less. I run something around 0.016 and have no blow by. The larger the bore, the more gap you need. Cheers Chris problem. __________________________________

- Tony .008 on the top ring isn't enough. You want around .014 to be The second ring can be a bit tighter, .011 is good. HTH Glen Thanks. I should mention that this is for an 87 mm motor. - Tony FILE F

- Always being out of time with too many cars to service (rebuild) I used to just put the torch to the bushing, warm it really good then drop it into a dish of oil. Never had a problem in this area. --

- I cannot remember NOT having to file the ring gap on an 87 MM engine. ) Nothing like a nice little 6" mill file for this job although they do make a little machine to make certain the ends are square
