Just about to pop new rings in and checked the sizes of the old rings, they are mainly gapped at 0.65mm ish. Took the new rings out of the packet and placed them in the bore only to find they overlap 5mm!! is this correct. In my old karting/2 stroke days they rings only needed a small fettle if anything, these appear massive.
I have checked the part number on the new ring box and the bore size (73.5mm) and they match. Surely you shouldn't have to try and trim 5mm off them
if that is the case, how the hell do I do the oil control ring? I'm hoping they are just the wrong rings.
any help would be much appreciated for this numpty :-[
Thanks in advance
