I realize this is an old vid. However, thanks to Proform for omitting operating instructions and leading me to your channel. Thanks for fine tuning my knowledge! Now I can gap my rings with full confidence. I look forward to perusing the rest of your channel.
@@Hank77442 Thank you very much Hank!
Never knew this information on ring filing. Great video
Thank you Chris for watching and commenting.
As always, well done 👍
As always thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
Very dope tech tip, I would have done it wrong NO LIE! lmao... Thank you sir for making sure I do not blunder on doing this.
Thanks Wayne, I'm trying to show the good, bad, and the ugly. I have my blunders as well, but I always try to double check everything.
Great information on ring filing; I certainly appreciate the detail you put into your videos! ✊🏼🏁
Thank you Paul! I have a lot of good video's in queue. Trying to have extra's made up like you recommended.
@@MikesGarageRoute66 Perfect, I usually have 2-3 videos ready to go just in case something comes up. Ever since I started doing it like that, I've felt less pressure!!
It was very good advice.
@@MikesGarageRoute66 👍🏼👍🏼
Great information Mike. Cant wait to see the next one!
Thank you, I liked your video on E85. Great information.
@@MikesGarageRoute66 thanks!
Great work. Incredible
Thanks Justin!
Once again some great advise for giving yourselft the best chance when going DIY
Thank you Jim. I have some cool video's coming out on piston ring end gap and proper installation of ARP main and head studs. Trying to put out the best content I can.
Awesome pointers Mike
Thank you for watching. I can't wait till you start working on your upgrades. It will be great to see it.
@@MikesGarageRoute66 Hopefully soon. This house refinancing is killing me. Some of the existing parts should be going on soon and hoping to order some bigger ticket items in May.
@@Lethal_Venom Great to hear!
@@MikesGarageRoute66 Thanks Mike!
Nice vid! Very informative
Thanks Shawn, much appreciated!
I also use a little oil in the bore when installing ring & checking the ring gap
That’s not a bad idea and probably a bit easier on the crosshatch pattern.
@MikesGarageRoute66 that why I do it just easier on moly rings
I was told to turn the tool the opposite way, which made No sense to me. why would you rotate in a way that would push ring upwards? It definitely makes sense to rotate so the wheel drives downward towards plate. seen other videos the other way as well:(
Yep a lot of people do it wrong. The key is to not have any rough edges that can scratch the cylinders.
Shouldn’t you hold the ring on from the other side so that it sits flat on the ring filer base? Or does the ring hang over on that end too?
Hey Mike,you tube vids show many different ways,i have similar looking tool,i was using other side of the tool,took forever to get .008 off.now i see how you do it,do you take off from both sides of the ring or one side like some you tubes say? thanks
Take off from only one side. It will have better results. Also different ring materials take more turns then others. So the number of turns on the top ring may be different from the second ring. Thank you for watching!
Would you recommend this tool or another one of its copies? I found so many bad reviews on various amazon tools I don’t know what to do.
This one works perfectly fine. The bad reviews are typically from someone who has never done this before and rushes it. Slow and steady when filling rings and check the ring gap often.
@@MikesGarageRoute66 thank you sir
@@timweb1510 My pleasure, let me know if you need any help.
@@MikesGarageRoute66 wow, sure will
It would be nice, if they made the tool to work with folks who are left-handed.😕
Very true. The best advice is to practice on your old rings first. Then use it on the new ones. Use torque plates as they may a huge difference. Thanks for watching!
get a elecgtric one (if you can afford it)
I've done it the wrong way once 😂
Hehehe It happens to the best of us! As always thank you for watching!
