Title: 96.5mm Piston Ring Gap Post by Moarpower on 03/05/23 at 22:55:05 Hi guys, Finally putting my 86 back together with the new piston and cam. I have a 96.5mm Wossner piston, but it has no info on the gap specs. I was hoping someone could help me out with a safe ring gap spec as out of the box and in the bored cylinder, they are almost touching. Also, what kind of ring compressor do you guys recommend for this. I have one from a car build but it not suitable for this situation |

Title: Re: 96.5mm Piston Ring Gap Post by DragBikeMike on 03/07/23 at 00:00:03 I suggest you lean toward more is better. A big gap (within reason) will not be a problem, but too small a gap will wreck the engine. Top ring should be a bit tighter than the 2nd ring. On a 97mm bore, .024" gap for the top ring and .028" gap for the 2nd ring works good for me. |

Title: Re: 96.5mm Piston Ring Gap Post by justin_o_guy2 on 03/08/23 at 11:49:47 You can watch a YouTube video on it. Just don't file the ring and get the gap,and stop. Gotta clean it up. |

When you file a ring...you can create a sharp burr on the square edge touching the cylinder wall. A burr can scratch a nice gouge in the cylinder wall. The edge doesn't have to be rounded off - you just don't want a sharp pointy edge that will cut the cylinder wall. |
