Thanks. I cleaned them just with a small screwdriver and making sure they turned when oiled. I thought about this too and should have done a better job on that. Planning on pulling the pistons this week and hoping to get them out without busting the rings or losing the head gasket. Will be spotless this time.

The puzzler here to me is that the rings (which I am sure I put in correctly, right side up etc.) looked exactly the same except there was no expander under the oil ring before. I mean nothing at all.

Is it best to just put engine oil in the sleeves before putting the pistons back or some other lube? They were a really tight fit before and had to punch them down. Sounds like they were not cleaned good enough in the grooves to me too. Was much more free with the old rings.

Thanks for the advice. Hating to pull it apart again but better safe than sorry!
