That's a little scary with the ring snapping that easily. Are those OEM rings, or did they come with the new pistons?

I knew about the notching, sorry I didn't post anything about that beforehand. I think you have a ring on the way, those are cast iron, so yeah they take a soft touch.

The 2nd ring is like that, it is a cast material (not just on our motors, and not just CP). What ring gaps did you decide?

These are some pics of my progression today after getting my second compression ring overnighted from CP. I am hoping tomarrow to bolt on clutch, flywheel and trans. Also get her hung in the engine compartment. I miss my car |

That's coming along great. I think I'd be too tempted by "as long as I'm in here" mods.... good on you!

Just a little tip for do it yourselfers. When tightening head bolts lay the engine on its side or it will spin like a top.

Surprisingly enough the ring gaps were perfect right out of the box. Ive never had that happen before with file fit rings. They were all .017"-.018" on the first compression ring and .025"-.026" on the second.
Nice work getting the thing slapped back together so quickly!!! |

Haven't posted of here in ages! Today driving in the morning my car make a crack sound and something in the engine is making a ticking noise when I drive drove it home and left it there! Once I get home I can check and see if i can find the problem! It was freezing this morning I let the car warm up coolant temp was roughly 70*c and intake tempt was 17*c I hope my internals aren't damaged
