The cylinder looks fine...the ring land was still intact when I removed the piston so nothing got scored.mugsy":ms9825dz said:how bad is the bore on that cylinder! And that looks a lot like the #6 piston when I rebuilt my engine.
wsa111 said:Gene, from past experience if you remove a piston from its bore, i recommend replacing the rings in the cylinders you removed the pistons.
I have removed pistons before & reinstalled them, but apparently the rings find there own position & have had oil burning if i don't replace the rings.
In other words if you pull all the pistons replace the rings. Bill

Yes I will be...plus I sent it to the carb shop and had their pro billet annular boosters installed, adjustable fuel and air bleeds installed and had the throttle shafts thinned. Should run better.Crosley":3nljh963 said:Gene Fiore":3nljh963 said:Pretty much the same...just ball honed all the cylinders and installed new rings and rod bearings and eliminated my oil sucking pcv valve.
