piston ring end location problem
in 2 Stroke Technical Questions
12 years ago
Hi first post here.
Also, it is a ROTAX question but not aircraft. I hope that is OK.
I have a type 537 engine, 521 cc liquid cooled. I had a piston failure as a result of a torn carb boot.
The failed piston was wiseco which had the ring ends missing all the intake ports.
The replacement is Kimpex and has the lower ring end is over an intake port (2 ring piston).
I found a used Elko piston, which is suppose to be stock/original. It is like the Kimpex with the ring end over an intake port.
The intake port in question is 180 degrees from the center of the exhaust port.
I am a beginner and have been told the ring ends are never over a port.
Any comments would be appreciated.
