I have gone through all my TSBs but couldn't find the 1 that I was looking =
for.
As I recall there was one, I seem to remember that I was applicable to the =
100/6 engine, that said to delete the bottom ring during rebuilds.

Hoping to validate my decision before buttoning things up on my 100 engine.=
 Ordered .020 over standard (not 100M) piston set from Moss. Piston is a 4 =
ring piston, but came with 5 rings. They were identified where each ring sh=
ould be fitted #1-5, with #4 (3 piece oil control ring), and #5 (one piece =
oil control ring). Obviously not a groove for #5. Ring set was marked 100/1=
00M, so I'm assuming they send the same set for both and you just leave off=
 the #5 (one piece oil control ring) on the 100 pistons. This is what I dec=
ided to do. Now Moss's 4 ring set on the website shows the three upper ring=
s and the #4 ring being the 3 piece oil control ring reinforcing the though=
t that the #5 (one piece ring) should be disregarded.

Called Moss Tech support and after a week they got back to me and said that=
 he didn't know the answer, and they would get back to me. That was another=
 week ago and still no answer.  Also nothing is indicated in the piston dir=
ections.  Thought I would check to see if anyone on the list ran across thi=
s?
TY, Shawn
