@Dave7 what do you reckon?
Could do with your opinion.
Ring gaps measure at 20 thou.
Piston to bore clearance is 2 thou.
Wotcha reckon?

TBH i prefer to see these things close up but my 1st recommendation is to open your ring to its max and slide the piston in. You will immediately know if its the right fit.

I have to say you sound like you have a lot of experience with ‘ pistons ‘ and opening ‘rings ‘ . 😀

Though I am not totally sure if you an engine expert, a gigolo or an agony aunt . 😂😂

Afternoon all. Just back from volunteering. It was just a select group today, only four of us . I think the forecast put a lot of people off . The weather was as forecast , it started cold and wet then alternated between hot and wet for the rest of the morning . 😂
Still glad I went , it’s nice to be doing good things in the company of nice people . 😀

TBH I'm not sure either. I am just naturally gifted so feel I owe it to all to help when I can.

I am sitting here and I am blushing. I do enjoy the praise and long may in continue but I am happy to give advice to any of my, can I say, lesser mortals.

Protein shake consumed. Gotta keep those guns fuelled and impressive looking.

Ordered a stainless exhaust for the C70 yesterday. Received an email telling me the parcel was delayed, so would be delivered tomorrow. Then received an email telling it would be delivered today. So lord only knows when DHL plan to be bothered to deliver it. Ill just stay at home indefinitely and hope for the best.
