Re: Quick Piston Ring Gap Question

Alright, I'm just gonna go to 0.017" on the top rings just so they're all the same, and then I'll go 0.019-0.020" on the second rings.

Thanks guys!

Icon6 How much can you raise compression without serious tuning?

I'm looking at getting some pistons for a B18A1 I'm building, but I'm wondering how much you can mess with the compression ratio and still run safely on the stock map (it's OBD0 if that matters).

Re: Ring Gap Question

Ok, I think I will do that.

Now, let's say I end up having to bore the cylinders to 81.5mm. I'm thinking I'd get a set of those RS Machine pistons that come with rings and wrist pins. I can...
