[QUOTE="PawPaw, post: 196012, member: 1934"] The info for cleaning the cylinder and piston was posted early in the thread. The ring end gap should be between .010" and .012", if memory serves me, but see what the piston paper work called for as well as what is in the service manual. A steel sleeve with a forged piston will be tricky getting the correct ring end gap as the piston expands faster than the cylinder. If manual calls for .080" then I would add a couple of thousands to that to be safe. Remember that a single ring piston rings don't last very long any way. Paw Paw [/QUOTE]
