Got the cylinders all lightly ball honed, but they were in pretty much perfect shape still. Also got all the new rings filed and pistons installed. All that is left is to install is the head and button things up. I decided to go with .020 for the top ring and .023 for the second, hope that works out alright for me. I also lined up the gaps to where they're supposed to go, I never realized the locations were so specific. Good thing I had someone helping me.

The old rings were gapped at .024 and .028, so that explains the blowby and low compression numbers.

Oh, is it normal for a company to ship 9 ring sets? I only ordered and paid for 4 sets, but I got a box with 9 of them. Is that in case you mess up 5 separate sets?
