    When doing so keep old piston still attached wait for new one than check ! And see how it’s designed than do it yourself! There’s gaps in between these rings the wrong gap means you’ll end up buying another block 😅

    nice vid! going to be changing rings on the gy6 on my go kart.

    Only thing not mentioned is the way the markings on mid and upper rings should face. Far as I have done it, they always face up. Awesome vid. Job well done.

      Rings I have gotten., had no markings at all. Is there any way to tell then?? Because I failed my first attempt. Engine ran really hot. Carb was ment for 50-80cc was upgraded and had diff air filter on it that came with carb. Put 100cc bbk on it. Ran a little, got hot and died wouldnt start up. Was possibly thinking it was likely running to lean. It ended up breaking the walls of the grooves between the compression rings and scratching the cylinder. I got a new kit arriving tomorrow and I feel a little more confident it wont break again.... but the rings I got were not labeled so I have no clue how to tell cant find a good video on 100cc gy6 rings.

      I have no markings on the rings I’m fitting this is what has lead me to this page

      Yes, the compression rings have a mark on 1 side.
      That side of the ring faces upwards

  • @project6287
    @project6287 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    hey, the upper piston ring should actually be at the marking (because it is closest to the combustion... it is additionally cooled... with the intake on top

    • @seanmayo206
      @seanmayo206 หลายเดือนก่อน

      At the 12 o clock position right? An 2nd ring at the exhaust right?

  • @firsttimejongbuild
    @firsttimejongbuild 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Sorry but either I missed it or you don't explain WHY these gaps have to he at a certain clock position??? Talk to me like a 2 yr old.

    Why not the compression rings on 10 and 2 oclock?

  • @richyboy1116
    @richyboy1116 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What's the difference between the middle and top ring as mine looks exactly the same just a different colour, but I've put the black ring at the top but if that's going to cause a problem I'll swap it around before carrying on with putting it back together

    Hello there great video quick question though is the oil ring sandwich between the two skinny oil rings.

  • @Yeetingmicrowavesatcars
    @Yeetingmicrowavesatcars ปีที่แล้ว

    Does this change depending on the cillinder brand or displacement or is this a one size fits all kinda deal?

    Hi! How much gap does the ring need if I put it in the cylinder? Thanks

    • @cemtkeenan2750
      @cemtkeenan2750 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      .008 for 50mm bore, usually .004 per inch of cylinder bore

    Hi Joey.I know this is an old video,however i'd like to know how those new rings sat on the cylinder walls.I had never seen the way you clocked the rings.Where did you learn that way from.Thanks.

    Question after my stock piston ring land failure on the gy6 happened I replaced the piston and head and boom happened again after like the 3rd time took the kart out .... any reason you know of that it would keep happening?

      Ring gap grinding to spec

    • @noneshere
      @noneshere 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Gotta push the ring in the cylinder with the piston top, then check the ring gap with a feeler gauge.
      Its called end gap.

  • @BlaserAndDesert
    @BlaserAndDesert 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why is the white on top and black ring under?

    • @ramiretz
      @ramiretz 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      because they have different ring end gaps, different shapes of the edges and the material hardness is also different ! its also important to take a closer look those 2 rings have markings to let you know which side is the upper side... always mount with the letters up on top. if you put them in wrong order or upside down the engine will not work long, loose compression and burn oil because the rings cant seal correctly.

      @@ramiretz I think that's what I did wrong last time busted a c-clip somehow but I never paid attention to the markings on the rings
