When installing new rings, I always use manufacturers suggestion. When re-installing rings, I use position suggested in the old H-O Racings "Blueprint" book. Good Luck, Guy

Standing on the side looking at the valley.
Top ring: 12 o'clock 2nd ring; 6 o'clock oil ring: the spacer @ 6 o'clock the scrapers@ 2 & 10 o'clock They move anyway but it's a starting point used by the GM racing division that I have used for the past 30 years. OH No, I'm dating myself. Later, http://PontiacDude.cc [This message has been edited by PONTIAC DUDE (edited 07-11-2000).] |

I was kind of curious because some people don't like the gaps on the thrust side and others don't like the gaps on the pin side. Don't know what the rational is to these methods. I generally go with what the ring manufacturer says. Just thought there was a posibility that by alternate positioning there might be durability gains. Maybe not. Could be just preference or maybe hidden science.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
