Piston ring filers
Anybody know where I can rent one? I went to autozone and they said that it's a purchase only item. Does anybody know where I can rent one? Or maybe someone in socal would be so kind enough to let me borrow one?

Re: (Redwidow)
Usually the upper ring is only 1mm thick and the second ring is 1.2 to 1.3mm thick. If that is your case, you could not put the middle ring into the upper ring land opening.
If you are doing a turbo motor, .018" upper and .020" middle gaps should work fine for you.
