Tom is a good guy to work with, got me some parts overnighted and really helped me out when I was in a time pinch.

 

i did not see on that web site where u could get just stock rings or stock lifters cuz i need them to

 

I knew what he was talking about with "Rings"

Keep in mind there are a few diffrent TYPES of Piston rings... you may need more then one kind

1: Compression Rings (Seals the combustion chamber from the crankcase)
2: Oil Control Rings (Distrubtes to lubricate oil on the cylinder walls)
3: Oil Scraper Rings (Pushes oil back down out of the cylinder May be part of the oil control ring)

Wow more rings then I thought would be on a 2 liter engine. Make sure that you evenly space out the ring ends. Make sure they are NOT lined up, or you could loose compression.

 

Not really the engine size that depicts how many rings the piston needs to seal properly... To put it simply.. 2 top rings, each in a seperate groove on the piston, then the other 3, create the oil ring in the lower groove of the piston, mated together, the "ripply" one sandwiched in the middle. And yes each ring must be rotated in the correct direction to make sure the openings are not above eachother.

 

Alighn the two top Comp. rings opposite the thrust face of the piston.
May try Total seal for a much better sealing ring. Total seal also does O.E. ring conversions.
With the proper cylinder finish I can make a single Comp. ring seal as good and lose a 28 grams or more from a piston like this.
Correct me if I am wrong but this engine has cast in Iron liners.
Best thing for Iron is cooking in the back yard grill.

 

yeah i see all that now thanks guys and i know how to install rings i just did not see a good price on them but i see now i asked tom at engine depot about some lifters for it cuz i have a collapsed one and he says they done have lifters and i know they do thery on the other side of the rocker arm u have a lifter on one sideof the rocker arm and the valve and spring on the other side so i dont know what he is talking about but thanks for all the help

 

I think to be technical, they are called lash adjusters. They are more commonly known/called lifters in OHV engines. Possible he thought you were confusing the two. As they are styled/sized a bit differently, and although both are oppostie the valve on the 'rocker' they are in quite different locations. I do see them both called lifters but I suppose when ordering engine parts he just wanted to make sure you wanted to order the correct part. Thats my best assumption.

 

00oo0o0o i see well i call hem lifters becuz they are hydraculiy operated and they lift up up on the rocker arm

 

yeah, they are hydrolic lash adjusters.. I call em lifters most of the time too, usually people know what you're talking about, lol. I would just clarify with him, Im sure that's just what happened.
