Default RE: Custom Piston Rings

Heat Piston with propane torch & find ring gap to pry on ring halves. Once ring starts to pry out put oil under ring and repete process. Light oil works best, be careful if piston gets too hot oil will ignite and catch on fire. If ring is stuck and gap is over .003 replace ring as power is slipping past wide ring gap.
