[QUOTE="Snorky, post: 1533074, member: 29157"] Been a while, spent a lot of time being super.. ultra busy with work and the house. Finally got a chance to check piston ring gap on the first and second rings. All of the first rings were .009"-.010" and the secondary ring was .015"-.018". I think they will be fine as per ford specs.. if anyone has any opinions, let me know. This engine won't be a race engine or for boost yet. Stock style Mahle hypeurectic pistons 7cc dish to make 10:1 or 10.5:1 Didnt do the oil wipe rings.. probably should next time I go up.[ATTACH type="full"]30125[/ATTACH] Then I organized the pistons and rods with the rings respective to the bores[ATTACH type="full"]30126[/ATTACH] And then I assembled the rods to pistons being sure to orient the wrist pin offset opposite the crank throw. The stock rods have chamfers on both sides of the rod ends. So i dont think orientation matters much.[ATTACH type="full"]30127[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
