G2 which Way Do the Rings Go?
I just got a rebuild kit from BGW and the top 2 rings have no markings on them and one of them has a tapered profile. Which is the top ring and which way up does the tapered ring go into the piston groove? Thanks.

Re: G2 which Way Do the Rings Go?
The one with the tapper is the second ring. With short side up=\ , usually there are some kind of a marking on rings, might just be like a letter like (R) but usually any markings go up and I have heard of a few with no markings that apparently didn't matter witch way ya put them. But that tapper does matter.

Re: G2 which Way Do the Rings Go?
There are no markings on the rings whatsoever and they are identical in color and material. One ring looks completely symmetrical and I'm guessing goes on top. The tapered ring has a 90* face that contacts the wall and a flat bottom (or Top) but the other horizontal is not at 90* to the face and the inside height is .010 smaller than the face height.
Does the tapered side go up or down? |

Old school racing practice but still holds true and here's another old tip for you gear heads; Indexing spark plugs. Mark the position of the electrode tip and work out where it faces the intake valve, add or remove shims to place it thus. That old chestnut was worthy of a 16 HP gain on a Lotus twin valve back in the day. Hope that helps. Chris. |
