Replacing Piston Rings

Postby HENRY » Fri Sep 20, 2019 6:23 am

Hi, can I just easily replace a set of new piston rings without doing any honing or other work please?

I broke one whilst putting the head back on. Engine has done between 15,000-20,000 miles.

Following a biased and flawed moderator choice (someone posting aggressive personal attacks is rewarded, while my technical posts are removed - behind my back & without any justification!), I have withdrawn from this forum.
