I have a 196 clone and I'm removing the connecting rod and piston to throw some new rings on with a fresh hone. Can i safely reinstall the rod onto the crank,torque it down and go?
I ordered a short block gx200 clone and the piston was already installed and the arrow on the piston was pointing up . That's how it was delivered to me
What do you mean, you didnt say what engine. Gx200 196 clone or 212 predator. Then you go on the website and shop for your engine. It tells you what parts fit
@@joshuaboey366 Yes, I set my ring gaps 180 degrees apart. and have the end gaps by the pin. This is something that has been debated for years about what is the proper way. This may not be what everyone does, but it works for me.
I kicked an exhaust rocker following your instructions to the T . Set it at 5 and no problems yet
Thank you sir. I wasn’t sure about which ring went where. Luckily i got that exact type piston. From u. Thx again

GG strikes again with the BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE 🙏🏻 🤲 Thank you
Great video, exactly what I was looking for!
my motor has a 65mm piston. what rings would i need
My black ring ( center ring ) doesn't flex at all once installed on piston . Can't depress to install piston into cylinder .
what size gap do you need for it?

I would correct that before running the engine. The pins are offset and the triangle or dot must face the pushrod area
What’s size is your flathead and rod
What size do you need for a non hemi rod and piston

No need to oil/lubricant the rings?
I would
Do you need to offset the rings 180 degrees out???
Each rings slot I mean

Please do your own video that shows what you are talking about and link it here. We could all learn from you! Share the knowledge!
I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.
