greenshee14 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 So im rebuilding the top end and my jugs seem to not fit over the pistons very eaisly they have been bored and honed and the machine shop had the pistons with them when they did it. I got one of them on a little bit and it was still very hard. It almost seems like they dont fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhowdie Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Are you sure your ring gaps are lined up with the marks on the pistons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duneman101 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 there is a small pin looking deal in each ring groove, make sure that the break in the ring pinches this little pin. if not you will never get those pistons on, it can be a little tricky but after you get it on you will wonder why you couldn't have figured that out before.

GrMeyer Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 have you checked the ring gap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowit Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 You better stop there and test fit the pistons. I have seen this myself where the shop does not take the time to test fit. I got one back with .005" taper!! Without rings, the pistons should just fall through the hole. If they do not, do NOT run them. Also, as mentioned above, make sure your rings are in their home about the locate pin in the ring lands. IMO, if the ring end gap is way off, there is something wrong with the bore, not the rings. Wiseco has been pretty accurate on rings for some time. Mull Engineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Some wiseco and some other lines. Check the bottom of the wrist pin boss for a "W" or post a pic and I can likely help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolguyson Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Put the piston in the bore without the rings and check to make sure they are right. Then compress the ring and put it in the bore. If both of them fit fine...put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
