| + | Exact ring gap orientation should be with the documentation that comes with a new set of rings. \\ | ||
| + | The FSM's say to space the gaps an equidistant around piston. That leaves a lot of variance. \\ | ||
| + | The rings will rotate during operation so they will not stay exactly where you put them. \\ | ||
| + | This initial procedure for placing the ring gaps will help keep down blow-by during initial start-up while the engine breaks in the rings. \\ | ||
| + | Orientation of the ring gaps is a debatable subject. \\ | ||
| + | However the one thing most agree upon is the adjacent rings should not be spaced near each other. | ||
