Gapping the Oil Rings

Grinding oil rings

Grinding the ends of the oil rings. A dremel mounted in a vice isn't the ideal tool for this, but its okay for the oil rings.

Alining oil ring

Using a piston to align the ring in the bore prior to measuring it. The ring must be square in the bore otherwise the gap will be wrong when you measure it.

Checking oil ring gap

Checking the oil ring gap with a feeler gauge. Target is .025".
