[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 472708, member: 3278"] [size=150]Weldor - My first thought was excessive wear as well but the thrust side of the piston ring is actually 90 degrees away from the open ring gap. The gap faces straight down on this engine. The bottom side of the cylinder definitely gets more lubrication on this engine as well so that area would have been well lubricated. Cedar - You're right! A lot of common sense, long hours and learning from failure analysis time and time again. Wonder if being Swedish and having that work ethic played a part in it for Ole.[/size] [/QUOTE]
