At the suggestion of an A&P, I removed the #2 cyl of my 0-320E2a used engine to inspect camshaft for corrosion, etc.
Camshaft looks great. Piston top has lead fouling but everything looks good.
Now my question for you engine gurus:
How should the compression ring gaps be oriented? In car engines I've built it was always 180 degrees.
When I looked at my lyc piston, it looks like they were lined up. Can this be right?
Now I just need a ring compressor for that big piston. none of my car tools will work.
