Re: "Honing rings"

[squierka39]

When you can’t get new rings, or are just to cheap, what do you think of swapping the bottom ring and the top ring, sort of fits with Harry Brinkmans suggestion about the top ring being the worn ring.

and in another "FWIW" Harry Brinkman used to always recommend replacing only the top ring on a piston, he just thought that it didn’t make much sense to replace all of them when the top ring does most of the compression work anyway. Plus, with some of our old motors, ring supplies are getting smaller in certain sizes, so it helps stretch out the supply, and saves a person a few dollars as well. Just a thought.

Hope it helps.
