    OK, sounds promising…
    Again, please check the ring end gaps before assembly. You will want to check the side clearance of the rings also, the distance between the top or bottom of the rings and the piston ring lands…The old rings were rusted in place, be sure to clean out those piston ring lands (using a broken ring) to make sure they don’t get stuck due to left over rust/carbon….
