Rings
« on: July 24, 2017, 10:30:09 PM »
When i assembled my short block and turned it over by hand. I noticed it left oil
on top in nr 2 cyl. So i thought i screwed up an turned the rings upside down
pulled out the piston and checked but the rings was the right way according to
markings. I shrugged it of as a to a excessive oiling of that cyl.
But now i got nr 2 exhaust port coated with oil ::) not much but its there,
All the other ports are dry
No smoke or nothing out of the exhaust manifold.  Did i have my usual luck and got a ringset
with one ring marked the wrong way ::) or what?
Will drive it the rest of the summer and see if it clears up when i get the rings
broken in. But i doubt it will
Anyone with any ideas whats the problem?

If those are moly face rings and cylinder prep was done for that face material, the rings should have seated on fire up or within minutes.  With modern moly rings, there is no "drive 500 miles" stuff anymore.  Depending on the brand it may be possible to buy a single cylinder replacement set and re-ring that hole.

Yes they are moly rings and platuehoned to right specs
must be marked wrong since it scraped the oil up in the cyl ::)
I should have listened to my selfs first thoughts ::) and not
relied on the markings
Well lets see if it foul the plug or what, No oil on no 2 plug
atleast
