[QUOTE]Originally posted by JohnB: [QB] When people assemble engines rather than building them, this happens. They don't bother checking the gap in the ring. You cannot just "throw rings on pistons and stuff them in the holes"...or you'll get this. The ring needs a certain amount of clearance to ensure it all has room to "grow" when it gets hot. The engine was is a Autocross car. It sees alot of high rpms and even more heat than a straight line car. I'm curious as to how many of the other 6 are fractured. :cool: [/QB][/QUOTE]
