- I made this filer using a regular dremmel tool. The cutting disk sits at a perfect 90 degree angle to the board. And also cuts the ring at a 90 degree angle so both sides match perfectly after cut.
*For the people that have never done this, you cut only one side. Not both. You want both sides of the rings to meet square. They come together when they heat up and they need to seal. Cutting them at an angle will cause excessive blow by. Also cut very little and measure multiple times on the cylinder bore until you get it right. Then use a tiny filler to deburre the ring end you worked on. There is a million youtube videos on how to do that.
Good luck.
Be cautious using this method as it can remove a lot of material quickly
YEEEEESSSSSS!!! Love it bro, you are a genius lol. I didn't want to spend a $100-$200 and I have two of those so this will work for me
Not to be rude here, nice hack...but from the way the sparks were coming off, you were grinding the ring from inside to outside. Need to reverse that
Just by putting the ring on the other side of dermal tool would work great
That was a test old ring. Just to give a demo. No one files a ring with only one hand. Lol.
Love it !
I love TH-cam.
What do people mean by filing from the inside to outside?
On this video..judging by the grinding sparks from his point of view.. he's filing outward from the inner diameter of the ring.. The correct way is grinding inward towards the inner diameter of the ring..sparks should be coming towards him..
You saved me 50 dollars and this is much more effective!
Hello, good idea but rpm is very high.2000-3000 rpm is good for this application.
Those torq screws are from a passat vw!!!! Am I wrong. Great DIY by the way.
Going to try to build one of those.👍
Why bother
Superb
What grid are u using?
What ever the cheap dremmel disks are. Which are way finer than the manual filers they sell for like 80 bucks and suck. You are only to remove very little and then measure your rings on the bore. I practiced with all rings to see how much I was removing. To my surprise, it doesnt take too much each pass, which is a good thing.
Hoguer Aleksander thanks you
😆😆😆
You champion
Good one Mate! I was about to gap the rings for my race engine but the ring diameter at 4-5/8" is too big for my ring filer. Back to the shop to build your tool, thanks.
You get a thumbs down for 2 reasons;
1- your set up is filing from the inside to outside-WRONG!
2- the ring needs to be squeezed so both ends of the ring get filed at the same time to keep them square with each other!
You have no clue what you are talking about. You are not supposed to mess up both sides of the rings.
@@hogueraleksander5868 Actually Koko is right . Please Read this Blog by blog.wiseco.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-ring-gap
POTCsIronMan actually Hoguer is correct. The link you provided even says so......”Remember to only file one end of the ring, and take care to avoid damaging any coating the ring may have.”
Koko has never build a motor that has even made it down the road
@@hogueraleksander5868 I retract my previous statements . You only file 1 side indeed . My bad.
