This is a stone age bullshit design and someone needs to come up with an engine without valves that are hammered to death or piston rings that wear out from friction or break from heat..
@cobrachoppergirl Um... You are talking out of your arse. That doesn't exactly happen if you change your oil. Sure the rings may wear out after 150K miles, but what doesn't?
my yamaha 1979 yz100f 2stroke says book 1 on top of piston and has like a 13 digit number on top whats this mean standard? arrow faces exhaust tho dood
@psingone you will be fine. as long as the ring gap is checked you are fine. you can stagger the rings IF YOU LIKE. but its not necessary. do what ever makes you feel better.
@psingone You are right. Thats the exact reason you stager them. Yea the rings will move around but the chances of them lining up with all the gaps in a row are very slim if at all. I have built motors (racing and street) since i was well.... since i could remember. Over 24 years.
@Xarmy187 dude see your comments on many of the same videos i watch so i looked at your profile and you have a mustang 5.0,i have one to but i need to build the motor

Does anybody know which direction a piston ring should be installed if there is a flange on the side of the ring?

What is the purpose of piston rings?
youngdones 1 year ago
@youngdones to produce more pressure when you produce the compression stroke.
K20civicsirturbo 1 year ago
@youngdones
The rings seal off the combustion chamber air tight to allow the compression to build for a proper burn of the fuel.

I thought you did have to stagger to prevent all rings from lining up which would cause blow by and compression loss? Just curious

you don't have to stagger the rings, rings spin in the cylinder when the motor is turning over/running.
