[SEL] Lindsy Alamo Piston Ring Qustion

[Bill Dickerson]

? Not sure what you mean - the L-A I have uses square cut rings - a cross
section of the ring looks like a square.
The rings have no special shape and go into plain ring grooves.
If the rings don't just fit into the groove, it's the wrong rings. 
Alamo made the engines for them, and both of mine have just plain ordinary
rings and plain grooves in the pistons.

If the grooves are carboned up, use a ring groove cleaner like nick said.

Funny, I got the reply as shown below, but not the original message that
prompted the reply!

Hi      if you are talking about notches of carbon just use a ring grove
cleaner if you are talking about steps in the piston then you may have the
wrong rings   Nick Holden Banbury  Oxfordshire (UK) nick at holden1.net

Subject: [SEL] Lindsy Alamo Piston Ring Qustion   Hi List     I was
wondering if I can grind the little notches in the piston ring grove
so the new rings will fit? thank you for the help
