[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 8413104, member: 8854"] Thaks for all the info so far. Here's the thrust washer I grinded down to get the end play I needed on crank. [IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=72&mode=view[/IMG] Been gaping rings. Here's the ring gap filer I used. [IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=73&mode=view[/IMG] Here's one of the new pistons I used to push the rings down square in the bore. [IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=74&mode=view[/IMG] Here's the piston upside down. That's as far down as I pushed the rings. Top rings are gaped at 0.020 and second groove rings are at 0.013 ~ 0.014. [IMG]http://www.v8-ranger.com/forum/download/file.php?id=75&mode=view[/IMG] OK here's the part that confuses me. The oil rings. It's like a puzzle and put them together. The spec sheet says the oil ring rail needs 0.015 end gap min. I assume that's the center wafer looking part? I checked one in a cylinder and it butts up snug with no end play. Do I grind it down just like a compression ring? They are very hard to check end gap because they don't hold tight in the cylinder like a compression ring. They just try and fall.
