Man to bad i dont have a Big r store here. Im sure somebody has one though. Its good to know ya can get the piston rod and all with this style of ring all in one shot. That makes it nice and east to convert an older engine witht he one ring set up and still get the zero gap ring. should be a little cheaper this way to.


Its to bad they did that to the cylinder with them slits. I can see it is the higher compression cylinder head. I dont know about making an aluminum wedge. I just dont see how its gona stay in there. I had a pretty large gouge in a hydraulic cylinder on my track loader. I took it to a hydraulic shop and they filled it full of ca glue and filed it off smooth. its still in there till this day. I dont know how this will hold up to an abrasive ring and the heat factor of the combustion but it may be worth a try. I have since fixed many of cylinders this way myself and no kidding it does work.

I am getting so close to having this thing all wrapped up and on my plane lol. When i get it all done i will have to do a page that list all the conversions i think are the best set up with all the part numbers we have found here.

By the way did you look at those carbs on e-bay? what do ya think?
