Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know the rings need replacing? A: Low compression, hard starting, or excess blow-by on a rebuilt top end usually points to worn piston rings. A compression test before teardown confirms the diagnosis.

Q: Do I need to hone the cylinder when installing new rings? A: Glazing or scoring in the cylinder should be corrected so the new rings can seat. Measure bore wear and ring end gap before assembly.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
