[SEL] Piston Ring Gap

[guitronics]

AHHHhhhhhhh:Now I understand what the folks down under were trying to 
tell me! Of course, you all are right.I replied to that after being

Rod, and Chevy Power, etc....on an automotive "Hot Street" application, 
they use a Torque plate(to simulate the head distortion) and , if I 
recall correctly : A Sunnen CK-10 Honing Machine.

                                        OOPS! My Bad! Thanks for 
straightening me out.
