Piston ring

[Zoom555]

Hey guys I just received the phantom85 and went to install the piston but the rings don’t seem correct. They seem to be too large. They are larger than the cylinder bore. Am I missing something here.

I add a few pictures to show you what I meant hi Hale

When you install the jug over the piston, you have to squeeze the rings so that both ends of the rings come up against the the protruding ring pins whilst gently guiding the piston into the jug one ring at a time...You will find it will fit...Make sure to take a lint free cloth and lightly coat the inside of the cylinder jug with a light coating of 2 cycle oil to help with the glide in...A little oil on the rings doesn't hurt either...lol.

These video's should help you to see how it is done.



Run this one up to 8 min and 10 sec to see how he puts what also appears to this guy as large rings into the cylinder.
