Piston ring gaps

Post by Jake_red6n2 »

Hi guys, I’m currently rebuilding an avy and I’m stuck for piston rings gaps. I don’t want to go of the old ones in case they are worn. I ordered standard size and they have come with a smaller gap when placed into the bore. If anybody has the standard ring gaps I would be more than over the moon if you could share the secrets.

file them down?
You will have to find the specs for them for your engine, and you will need feeler gauges
