In the New Year I will be looking at building the engine up for my Midas project and have a question surrounding the pistons & rings. I bought the pistons & rings as a set from Mini Spares - these ones: http://www.minispare...ck to catalogue and I can't remember if the rings were already fitted to the pistons at the time of purchase. The machinist fitted the pistons to the rods and also did the rebore, as well as balancing the crank, pistons and flywheel assembly. At the time I did not know about gapping rings so we never had the conversation about whether he did it. I can't contact him until the New Year.
My simple question is this: How do I gap the rings? I have done a quick search & can't find much out.
