Gapping piston rings | Blending an inlet manifold from a Mercedes 190E | BMW E36 M3

In this video, firstly I am gapping piston rings from an SR20 Det. Next job is a Mercedes 190E Webber conversion. Finally some engine work on a S50 E36 M3.
Hope you enjoy

Like the tips on fitting the piston rings, never seen that deflection on the oil rings😉

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thank you..

[@christophercullen1236]

Found the video on the Total Seal ring grinder very interesting , the way it works you can achieve very accurate gaps letting it spark out to smooth finish on the ring !

Thanks James - another master class. I guess its all those small details that you spoke of when all combined make the difference?

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks David.. yeah I think so.. some may disagree lol

[@davec3459]

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Dave, no worries

Thank you.

Super interesting, in your opinion are the typical Amazon vice mount style piston ring filers good enough 4the home mechanic if used carefully?

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Adam, yes they're fine.. just make sure the finish is ok

Hi there, I just found your channel, I am rebuilding a flood damaged Mercedes SLC engine 2019 M274.290 it may need a rebore, do the cylinders have a special coating on them or can they be rebooted, I can’t find anything on the Internet about it. Really appreciate your help if you have any advice on this matter.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Hi Steve.. sorry I'm not familiar with that engine so wouldn't know. Do you have any more info.. is it a V8? Aluminium block?

[@mikemccarthy1398]

I never knew the carbs had vibration top hat set up on the studs, i will need to fit these to my 40 Dellorto's. do you know best place to buy them from?. Keep up the good work👍

[@graceenginedevelopments]

I have found some on Ebay....thanks for the video uploads@@graceenginedevelopments

A factory turbo engine should use factory ring gaps. The piston choice makes no difference to the ring gap.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Yes I agree with you on factory engines, however this engine is modified
