Would you use these piston rings?

<< < (2/2)

Tomb:
I would fit the rings to the bores at the top of the bore wear area, and check the end gaps, if they're to spec and the rings look Ok everywhere else I would use them.

haynes66:
i wouldnt. sometimes, rings lose their springiness. even if the end gaps are spot on, they may not push against the bore as they should. anything springy which has been unused, under tension for 30-40 years or more can 'settle' into their compressed position.  well, it does with tractor parts anyway!  dont know about japanese steel...

mickwinf:
as its an engine out job on the 750 would be a big risk, i might chance it on a 550 as can be done in the frame.
