Subject: [TR] Rings Not seating
Hi,
What is the most likely cause of rings not seating?
I rebuilt my Spitfire engine about 4,000 miles ago and still have=C2=A0
excessive oil consumption.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 I don't seem to be leaking oil, so =
my=C2=A0
assumption is that it is getting past the rings.
I did check the gap on all of the rings during installation and they all=C2=
=A0
were within tolerance - generally towards the tighter end.
I am planning on taking off the head and putting new rings on.
What steps should I take to try to make sure the new rings seat=C2=A0
properly?=C2=A0 I am thinking I should run a hone down cylinders just to=C2=
=A0
roughen up the walls a bit.
Thanks,

If you had each layer gap in a vertical line with the next layer, then you =
may have the leakage easier to increase from the top of the piston area, to=
the sump pan space.-Cosmo Kramer=C2=A0-Cosmo Kramer
