Hi Mike
These are new pistons and the "grove" gap is to tight. I do have the ring grover cleaning tool but that takes material from the seat and not the sides of the grove.
I talked to a friend up the road, he's a machines and he's going to cut a block of al. to fit the ring(in closed position) and I'll emery a couple of thousands off the sides(top/botom).
Thanks for all your help.
Terry
