Rings In Reconditioned Engines

[Duncan]

there's a good article on autospeed this week on rings for rebuilt engines from the guys at ACL.

covers honing, ring sizing, differences between new and rebuilt requirements etc.

Q Can I put the expander into the bore to check if the ends meet?

A No, placing the expander into the bore only tells you its length relative to the top of the humps - these vary in height according to the expander design. The rails are supported on tabs near the ID of the expander and it is the diameter at this point that matters - and you can't measure that.

Can some one explain that clearly to me?

Yeah good article but it is about RE-RINGINGand already worn engine, not a fresh build.
