Ran great, no smoke, just a great running Engine. Just asking for a quick answer as to what I found WRONG(?) with it, as far as what most Folks say is not good?
Nope. One wipe with a Rag cleaned it up.1/4" of carbon.
This I understand. What's the point of messing with them to begin with? Please don't tell me that it's only for the 1st 15-20 mins. lolthe rings will float and spin in the lands and in the bore, they aren’t pinned
Wow, I just checked. It looks as though you are correct. Good stuff.I am going to guess that the gaps that sort of lined up, lined up towards the valve side of the cylinder on your flathead engine. Just my opinion from disassembling some well used Lo206 engines is that the gap is the lightest part of the ring and it naturally orientates towards the opposite side of the heaviest force that it experiences. The most force is the forward facing side of the piston while moving up and down the cylinder with the cranks rotation.
