i assembled my bottomend.

on the number 1 cly. when the piston goes back down a line of oil probally like a 1/8in thick or so,

none of the other cly. show this. are the rings gapped wrong? do i need a complete new ring set, can i get new rings for just that one piston?

btw they are OEM PR3 pistons, new, with new oem rings

 

i would check the roundness of the clynder to make sure it's not egg shaped and check for a possible broken ring. did you clock the rings right when installing them

 

can you give the correct clock for me, and i will tell ya if i did it right or not lol.

the block was a OBD2 JDM ls block with like 20k on it. i saw the car before it was pulled. i hope its not a rounded cly, but i do have a spare ls block incase

 

i assume this is the right way, this is how i set them before they were put in, i guess i will pull them and check

 

Could it be due to excess oil bewteen the rings from when you installed them?

 

it is the clock on the rings. i took them out and checked, good thing i havnt tq the head yet lol

 

that line of oil is normal. its just excess oil in that ring pack. if you gaped the rings right you should have no problem.

 

well im going to reset the ring clock and put em back in, and check again, just didnt appear right.
