hey all
what is the best type of file to use to file the end gap on piston rings?
my new cp`s come with file to fit rings
also can some one just confirm the end gaps im going to use are correct heres the link to cp`s spec sheet:
http://www.cppistons.com/catalogs/misc/Cp2005brochRing3hr.pdf
my bore is 86.5mm so thats 3.405 inches, so from the chart on the above link my end gaps need to be
top ring - 0.024"
sencond ring - 0.027"
oil rings 0.015"
cheers for any help, i know i could just give the bits to a company but id prefer to learn as this is one of the only things i have never done to do with engines.
