    Ok, so this was seized when i received it. PB blaster etc and freed it up. Removed piston to clean rings and and ring grooves. Thats when they broke. I didn’t measure ring gap. I just ordered them and tossed them on, I assumed they would be to spec. I took the head off and looked inside again, it is pitted and has surface rust on one side of piston. How can I remove this? I havent removed piston again to check end gap or if I broke a ring installing. When I put oil into cylinder and turn flywheel by hand I can feel greater pressure, also now that the rings and cylinder has oil when I removed head and wiped cylinder clean and turned flywheel I can see that the pitted area does not get a layer of oil. I tired to take photos and will attach. It was kind of hard to get a decent photo. Thanks for the input so far guys.
