When your Measuring for ring Gap, just in case you don’t already know. Take a piston and put a ring on it, place your ring in the cylinder at very top, then use the piston with the ring on to push that top ring down, that makes sure the ring is Square in the block, then use feeler gauges and sneak up on the gap. Do the same for second ring gap. It’s very tedious and time-consuming, Don’t use the amount of turns, method you will definitely screw it up. Make sure you file the ends real good. Also make sure you crank in same Direction every time.

Two things will happen if you don’t follow this Method, you’ll end up with bad ring seal, and cylinder walls scored by rings.
