Re: A question on Les Andrews's ring specs
That seems like a lot of carbon for only 1500 miles.

Re: A question on Les Andrews's ring specs
I agree! I was hoping someone like Kurt would address that as I certainly don't have the experience to even speculate with any reliability.

When I worked at the auto shop I hot tanked an Olds engine for a customer. He brought the pistons and heads in to show me how he had poished them to look like a mirror. He figured it would not have carbon stick to it this way. He didn't properly clean the cylinders after honing them, and wore out a new set of rings in one week. So he tore it back apart and showed me the pistons and rings. The pistons had just as much carbon as any other non polished engine. The rings were sent in for an analysis, and it was determined he left grit in the cylinders after honing. |

The pistons do not rock in any direction.
