Thanks for your help Rick. Gap on top piston ring grove was 10-12 thou for at least 25% to 35% of the diameter of the piston. The ring was broken when installed by the past owner. I put new rings in , have 165 psi but have a loose lifter noise that starts about 25 mph you only hear it on steady running. I guess you would call it a high noise cause it sounds like a lifter ajusted too loose ! No noise when under load or decelarating or idleing. I had a used ristpin in & out of the rod twice so was kinda thinking it might be the rod bushing but with that much gap in the grove could it be the top ring banging arround ?EDFrom: rick rappazo <rapf-@aol.com>Reply-To: Loopfram-@topica.comTo: Loopfram-@topica.comSubject: Re: Mystery engine noisesDate: Sat, 13 Aug 2005 16:36:21
