….. Oh ❗ yea just wanted to mention 😉 , DONT put your piston rings in like this ❗ 😡 ITS WRONG ❗ the oil ring gaps are suppost to be oppsite of one another not lined up like in this photo which when taking off the old piston rings found this on more then two pistons ❗ ………. how did that Deer Meat Steak get there 😆 😀

Not saying they weren’t installed that way, butttttt the crosshatch on the cylinder makes the rings rotate on the piston. 😯
You might find this (rings lined up) more often than not. 😮

….. “DON” so you dont like deer meat ❗ 😀 ❓ , cuase I know you “love” Fords ❗ 😆 …….. John S , ………. I am sure you have pulled plenty of motors apart , ….. and I think I have almost NEVER , seen this when taking apart a stock motor from the factory , this motor was assy very recently by a hi performance shop , for what its worth , anyway Iam sure you stagger ALL your piston ring gaps .
