Question about Rings and gaskets
Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2014 7:16 pm
Bought new pistons and rings from cruzin image for my GT750. I know the rings go in with the writing side up, but the paper that came with the rings show:
TOP RING as 1R and T1 for 4 stroke / 2 stroke and
Bottom RING as 2R and T2.
My problem is both say RM 50 on them. Does the 750 have different rings for the top and bottom of the pistons.
Another curiosity is that the guy who bored my cylinder said one of my Left pistons was slightly larger than the Right and other Left piston so he bored the center hole a little larger to accommodate it.
I also bought the DVD for engine rebuilds out of the UK. The guy on the DVD does not use any gasket sealant on any of the engine covers yet whoever put these on before used it everywhere which has been a real pain to clean off. Does any engine cover need sealant? On the video, the only things that got the sealant was the case facing, water inlet tube, and bolt 13.
Thanks,
Pat
