Briggs 130202 "Koolbore"- (aluminum bore- no steel sleeve)
Running on gasoline
Maximum RPM about 4500
What is the expected ring gap (range) on either a new engine or a O/S rebore and hone? Is it different for the 2 compression rings as compared to the oil ring?
In the Briggs repair manual they mention the "reject" ring gap for the compression rings at .035", then it requires a O/S rebore, but no mention of what the ring gap of a new engine should be.
Thank you in advance.
