Great vid! I also see lots of people just "throwing pistons in"...its great that you brought to light the importance of ring end-gap.On a side note though,i usually measure the bore before measuring end-gap and measure end-gap where the bore is smallest....usually it is smallest and least out-of-round just above the transfer ports or somewhere close to the center of the stroke.just thought id mention that.thanks and keep bringing on the great vids!

ring end gap thats ok but now when ur done for the gap you have to file the end so you have no sharp edge (debure)

hate to be that guy.. but technically your doing it wrong.. if you apply side pressure to the ring it can get warped. better to use a file and pull it back and forth across with just the ring tension or use the tool made for it

By directio do you mean from the center of the piston to the outside?

if you had a tight ring gap, would you have an issue right away? or could you run it hard for 1200miles and not notice a thing?

Too tight will break your piston when overheating
@fakegibsonssuck77557 жыл бұрын
Should file from the inside out, if that was a moly ring that would be destroyed now. Not trying to sound like a douche Louis. I love your videos.... You should get a ring file machine, you do enough top ends.

PowerModz sounds awesome! I think I'm gonna go with RKtek when I rebuild the top end of my 16 RMK. So far I've got about 4500km without issues, but I'd like to change the pistons as a precaution. Are you having issues with the motor mounts on your turbo? Mine are worn, and I feel like it doesn't perform as good as it usually would do.
