Default Piston Rings, Shmiston Rings, Who the Hell Needs Them?
Doesn't cyl #4 look nice? Admire the even gap all the way around the piston.




The piston didn't rub against the cylinder wall, did it?




Cyl #2 for comparison




52700 miles on the motor, atleast 40k miles of higher than stock power levels and a bunch of abuse.

I gotta buy 4 widebands and throw each gauge directly onto the pistons first.
