gpr Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 I am more familiar with 4 strokes and the affects good ring seal have on them, and signs and problems cause with poor ring seal. What about in a 2 stroke? Reason i ask is i was going to pull the top end off a low hour banshee motor and put a thinner base gasket on. I was wondering if i left the rings on there if they would seal up very well again? these pistons have locators so the rings are installed in the same place, the pistons and cylinders have probably less than 5 hours on them, so they are fresh still. Will the rings seal again or will it have excessive blow by? Quote

sheerider11 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Would that happen on a 4 stroke? Even low hours like that? Quote
