I have bought County Brand pistons and liners (86mm) with Deves rings. The
info supplied with the ("Set") rings said that the "normal" gap should be .008"
- .014". The Haynes manual says .003" - .010" for the TR3, .010"-.015" for the
TR4.
I have measurements between .003"-007", each/every ring, each/every cylinder.
The rings were set square in the liners.
On the Deves flyer provided with the "Set" there is the disclaimer (stamped
in red) "These rings are slightly oversize please check gaps and file if
necessary"
Should I file for a few more thousands?
TIA, Best Regards,
Ed (58TR3A)
