Vet, I have been afraid of getting too rough with it because the piston is aluminum and the I am also afraid I will damage the bottom rail, or the sleeve if it is not ready to go in. I have not tightened it to it's limits because I was afraid I would really have to whack the piston to get it to move -- (I have not had your whacking experience, and do not know the piston's limits before it gets damaged), I will try "light" whacking first.--Another question about staggering the rings. The expander in the oil ring butts together, it doesn't lock. According to the instructions with the sleeve kit, the butted ends are supposed to line up with the piston pin. Do the top and bottom rails go 90 degrees in opposite directions from the piston pin, and do the 2 compression rings then line up on opposite sides of the pin, that is 180 degrees apart or 90 degrees from the oil ring rails?
