Ok fella, dont take offense to what I was banterin about with Butch. Every one has to start some where and I had very good teachers back in the 1950"s that took time and show me and answer these kinds of questions. If you can give me a few days I will take my camera out to the shop and took some pitchers( as my Oki wife calls em) to show you what that means.
In the mean time here is a picture of a piston with stuck rings that I took out of a tractor and what you see is improperly installed rings and that is because the ring gap (space between the ends of the rings) was not stagered. I install rings with the ring gap 1/3 turn to each ring as I go down. I install rings bottom ring first and then the next one up. I then oil them dripping with motor oil and then stager the rings. Before I install any rings I first place them 1/4 ways down the sleeve with a piston to make sure they are in square and then measure the (ring gap)(space between the rings) with a feeler gage.

Thanks for the pitchers (Oki) I haven"t got the rings yet but will refer back to this great tip. What you using to compress the ring to measure the ring gap? Hose clamp? Or a device like the small engine guys use? Got to find out about the sleeves. Someone suggested I replace the sleeves and I"m not sure how to do that. Knock from the bottom thru the top? Special tools? oversize? New pistons?
