[big t double]

I'd take the $100 bills and then buy gold.

Goddammit I'm an idiot!!!! Of course this is the correct answer...best answer? I think so.

Nope, it's a radiation emotioncon. She grew a head for one boob and an arm for the other.

What do you all think of leaving out the bottom ring on a 201t?

All I can say is to try it. I broke a ring the other day, so now my 046 is only sportin one ring

Has anyone tried lapping the rings to get a better seal on the piston?.....not the cyl

I'm not following. Help me out

Combustion pressure forces a ring down to the bottom of the ring land and out to the cyl somewhat....by lapping the bottom side of a ring you get rid of the highs and lows and it seals better on the land of the piston....only really works on new pistons cause on used pistons the ring lands are already deformed a little

Have you seen this increase compression Brett?

And I'm guessing you do it by hand and avoid the ring pin?

It's a old Karting trick...I do it to every new piston....it's hard to notice a comp increase....but ya ever notice blowby discoloration on the side of a piston....not sure if it's actually from bad seal on the cyl or bad seal on the ring land

No you just lap the ring. ...I have a misi ring tool you fit the ring in a use 1500 grit...wet sand it a little on a piece of glass
