Default RE: Replacing Piston Rings

like mentioned above work the ring around...try not to expand it... it can break.... i was changing the ring on a st50 glow engine when i didnt know any better and i snapped the ring/// it was brittle

ORIGINAL: CustomPC

Further to this discussion, i just replaced the piston, ring and cylinder on my NGH and there is almost no compression.

What should i check? Ring gap? Something else?

run it up some...the compression ought to improve a bit....

i have an old dl50 with an estimated 15+ gallons through it and it doesnt have a whole lot of compression but it runs like a champ
