I did call CP, but I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem before.
I know that I have to file the rings that are too small of a gap larger. But I cannot file to make the gap smaller! LoL..
How could my bore be stock? They are 86.5mm pistons, for an 86.5mm bore. Yes the block has been bored over, 30mm darton sleeves installed, and honed.
No, they didn't ship me the wrong size rings. When I talked to them, they gave me the correct part number for the ring package, and thats what I have.
The things that got me were what I said above.

My expander won't even fit in the cylinder without it overlapping..

CP said..
1st ring.
Its fine they said. Couple thousands doesn't matter.
2nd ring.
Just file to .027-.028 and it will be ok.
Oil Rings and Expander
.015 on the rails, and the expander I can cut with wire cutters, and file smooth...
Kinda makes me nervous. LoL..
I wasn't coming on here to see if anyone knew the answers from CP, I was asking if anyone had this situation before. So I didn't come on here immediatly.
So do you have any experience with these problems? Or did you just post to put me down?
