Topic: 4 cyl piston end gap

  I am trying to find the correct piston ring end gap for my 1932 4 cylinder model B. Can anyone help? Pete

  Usually we set the gap at between .012 and .017, depending on whether to cylinders have been checked for taper. When checking the gap, be sure the ring is level in the bore, and about halfway down. If the gap is greater than .017, oversized rings must be used.

  Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for. Pete
