Just how big a hair too much?

I'm gonna say put the rings and gaskets in the spares box and run it.

Well, I think I was supposed to be at .02 on the top ring and came in at .024.  I know I put that one in correctly (letter marked on the "up" side) but I wasn't sure about the oil rings so I sent off an email.

The rings can go either way but he mentioned not to file them and to fit them as they are.  Well, the sheet said .015 min and I didn't have that so I went to work.

A little too well I think. . .  one came in at .02 and the other was like .026.  I put it together anyway but probably shouldn't have.  They mentioned it would run but might burn oil.  I can't handle oil usage (drives me nuts if it's excessive) so I ordered parts.

And here we are ;D

Ring end gap is to ensure they don't expand too much and hit, and possibly break.

Any ring end gap allows combustion gasses through, otherwise oil would last forever. I don't think the extra 10 grand will make a real difference.

I'll be curious to see what Eric thinks. I'm sure he's put one or two together in his day.

I'm on the fence.

He'll add to the confusion...he always does when I ask him a question. [laugh]

Thanks.

I suppose I could always run it then rering it if there's an issue.

I was all ready to do it this weekend but now you have me thinking about how nice it would be to just finish the reassembly and break it in ;D

My thinking is that since there is always a ring end gap, if it's a little big, it's no biggie. I mean I'm sure there's a calculation to figure how much more pressure you'd lose.

I'm not gonna worry about it.

I already have two votes to run it. I'm curious what Eric thinks.

You and speed dog know what's up as well so I'm pretty much deferring to the group.

I'll give him a buzz tomorrow and ask him to post up.

he'll likely do that anyway when he's having his coffee at the shop.
