| Subject: | A65-8 Piston Rings |
--> Continental-List message posted by: "Hayes, Mike" <Mike.Hayes@denco.co.uk>
I have an A65-8, which has recently had a top end overhaul. Each piston has
two compression rings, and a third oil scraper ring. At the bottom of each
piston is a fourth oil scraper ring. The only difference I can see between
the compression rings and the oil scraper rings is that the scraper rings
have had one of the outside corners removed, leaving a very small square
channel, or step. I believe that the top oil scraper ring should have this
step facing downwards, and the bottom one should have it facing upwards. Can
you please confirm if this is correct?
I also need a spare scraper ring because I have broken one, but one source
of information suggests I "will be alright" just using an old compression
ring in its place. Doesn't sound right to me - but would appreciate any
input.
Anybody know where I could get some spare scraper rings?
Thanks and regards,
Mike Hayes
