I have two questions before I seal the head:
1. After attaching the pistons to the rods and next endeavoring to slide the pistons through the cylinder I noticed that the rings on one piston were separated father apart than the rings on the other piston.
Albeit they look new, nonetheless I pondered whether the separation is a problem?
I am presuming that there would be a separation considering the fact that the ring has to be spread apart to slide it onto the piston, thus, when I slide the cylinder over the piston the rings will compress, thus, whether or not the gap is wide or narrow is not relevant? Is my thinking faulty?
2. Albeit I took every precaution when I slid the pistons through the cylinders to ensure that the locating pin was centered between both side of the rings, nonetheless I wondered, if I did not, would the create a problem?
