Been here, forgotten to do that, don’t feel too bad….
Did you rebore the cylinder? I’m assuming you did not, and you used standard rings… Tubs picture seems a little strange, can’t imagine ring end gaps being lined up in the ports….This surely is not the case on your engine.
What to do, what to do….You could pull the intake covers and probe each ring to see if it has some give to it…Like I say, I’m thinking you are OK provided you didn’t bore the cylinders and are using standard rings. I don’t think you could jam over size rings into a standard piston/cylinder without breaking or jamming the thing up.
Judgement call for sure…
