[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 239390, member: 7544"] Yes, you have to pay attention to where the gap is located on each ring in relation to the other rings gap. With 2 cycle engines you might also need to be concerned about the ring gap location in relation to the intake/exhaust ports also but I'm not positive on that. As a guess from a mechanical standpoint, I'd say you need to put the gap of one ring 180° from the other rings gap and position them so both gaps are as far away from the intake and exhaust ports as you can. But it would be best to hear from someone that has rebuilt one of these motors before you proceed. [/QUOTE]
