0Banshee1 Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Does anybody know why rings will not fit into piston grooves. I have bought 2 sets of banshee std. rings for my stock piston and both sets I have bought don't work. Yes, I'm putting the right ring in the right place, but its like the ring is too thick to slide into the piston groove. Could somebody please help me, thanks! Quote
boonman Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Perhaps they aren't stock pistons? Quote
0Banshee1 Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Posted February 6, 2004 They're stock pistons cause the engine has never been takin apart. Quote
SDD Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Are you sure the rings are the same thickness? Maybe one groove is slightly widers and a ring is thicker. Quote
Aussie Quad Racer Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 on standard pistons the ring groves are different thickness. Are you putting the right ring in the right groove? Quote
0Banshee1 Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Posted February 6, 2004 I figured it out, the person before me had put wiseco pistons in it. I just ordered wiseco rings from magic racing, so everything should work out good. Quote
